STEP-GAUSS STOCHASTIC TESTING METHOD APPLICATION FOR TRANSPORTABLE REFERENCE ADC DEVICE

Jan Holub, Milan Komárek, Jiří Macháček, Josef Vedral
Abstract:
The Step-Gauss stochastic test method has been developed to enable testing of precise AD converters that are difficult to test by standard methods using deterministic signal. A transportable high stable reference AD device was designed and realised for a comparison of systems for testing a dynamic quality of ADCs or AD modules using mainly those standard (deterministic) test methods. However, the stochastic test methods require different conditions and test arrangement due to large number of samples that has to be acquired during the stochastic test. This article describes how the stochastic test has been designed, arranged and performed considering its specific features.
