A PLATFORM FOR MICRO-CONTROLLER CHARACTERIZATION

Bruno Andò, Salvatore Baglio, Vito Caruso, Nicola Pitrone

Abstract

The characterization of the micro-controllers involves the characterization of its peripheral devices, mainly the ADCs, the PWMs, the timer signals, sometimes the DACs. A testing platform has been realized, with reference to the ST430 micro-controller. It consists of a board and some programmable instruments connected to a PC, on which the implemented software can run. The user can make the choice of the test to be performed, can carry out the chosen test and can analyze and store the results. The static ADC characterization has been taken into account in this work and some results obtained by using this platform are presented.
