• 一种基于参数谱估计的ADC积分非线性测试算法

    A testing algorithm for ADC integral nonlinearity based on parametric spectrum estimation

    • 模数转换器(Analog-to-Digital Converter, ADC)是电子测量系统的核心器件,其积分非线性(Integral Nonlinearity, INL)指标直接影响系统的测量精度。由于INL受设计、工艺、温度等多重因素耦合作用,如何实现其快速、准确测试成为当前研究的重点。针对现有测试方法中存在的采样数据量大、效率低等问题,本文提出一种基于参数谱估计的ADC测试方法。该方法采用切比雪夫多项式对ADC输入输出特性曲线进行拟合,构建非线性传输特性的逼近模型,并引入赤池信息准则(Akaike Information Criterion, AIC)实现模型阶数的自适应选取,从而通过数学建模高效解算INL参数。实验结果表明,该方法在保证高精度的同时显著提升测试效率,尤其适用于高分辨率ADC的静态误差分析。

       

      Abstract: The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) serves as the core component of electronic measurement systems, and its integral nonlinearity (INL) directly affects the overall measurement accuracy. Due to the coupled effects of design, manufacturing process, and temperature variations on INL, achieving fast and accurate testing has become a key research focus. To address the issues of large sampled data volume and low efficiency in existing testing methods, this paper proposes an ADC testing approach based on parametric spectral estimation. The proposed method employs Chebyshev polynomials to fit the ADC input–output characteristic curve, constructing an approximating model of the nonlinear transfer characteristic. The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is introduced to enable adaptive selection of the model order, thereby allowing efficient computation of INL parameters through mathematical modeling. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a significant improvement in testing efficiency while maintaining high accuracy, making it particularly suitable for static error analysis of high-resolution ADCs.
