Static testing of analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters becomes more difficult when they are embedded in a system on chip. Built-in self-test (BIST) reduces the need for external support for testing. This paper proposes a new static BIST structure for testing both A/D and D/A converters. By sharing test circuitry, the proposed BIST reduces the hardware overhead. Furthermore, test time can also be reduced using the simultaneous test strategy of the proposed BIST. The proposed method can be applied in various A/D and D/A converter resolutions and analog signal swing ranges. Simulation results are presented to validate the proposed method by showing how linearity errors are detected in different situations.

This paper is writing about developing magnet power supply. It is very important for power supply to obtain output current in high precision and high stability. As a switching noise and a power noise are the cause of disrupting the stability of output current, to remove these at the front end, low pass filter with 300Hz cutoff frequency is designed and placed. And also to minimize switching noise of the current into magnet and to stop abrupt fluctuations, output filter should be designed, when doing this, we design it by considering load has high value inductance. As power supply demands the stability of less than 5ppm, high precision 24bit(300nV/bit) analog digital converter is needed. As resolving power of 24bit(300nV/bit) analog digital converter is high, it is also very important to design the input stage of analog digital converter. To remove input noise, 4th order low pass filter is composed. Due to the limitation of clock, to minimize quantization error between 15bit DPWM and output of ADC having 24bit resolving power, ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulation is used and bit contracted DPWM is constituted. And before implementing, to maximize efficiency, simulink is used.

Oscillation-based testing of analog-to-digital converters represents a viable option for low-cost built-in self-testing in mixed-signal design. While numerous papers have addressed implementation issues, little attention has been paid to the measurement accuracy. In this letter, we highlight an inherent measurement uncertainty which has to be considered when deriving the parameters from the oscillation frequency.

The performance of a 1-bit DAC depends on that of the analog circuits. The mixed SC-CT (switched capacitor-continuous time) architecture is an effective design methodology for the analog circuits. This paper Proposes a new buffer scheme for the 1-bit digital-to-analog subconverter and a new SF-DSC(smoothing filter and differential-to-sig le converter) which performs both the smoothing filter and the differential-to-single convertor simultaneously.

This study is for the contents of development to the hardware system and software driving algorithm to implement the frequency band of about 7KHz los pass digital filter which has the cut-off frequency of 392Hz by interfacing of a microprocessor with its peripheral analog-to-digital converter chip and digital-to-analog converter chip. The simplicity of digital filter design without difficulty and the implementation of programmed digital filter can be realized by providing the interfacing method to implement the law pass digital filter for the biological signals and the realization method of computer algorithm by a microprocessor.

In this study, voltammetry system for realizing high sensitivity nano-labeled sensor of detecting heavy metals was designed, and optimal system operating conditions were determined. High precision digital to analog converter (DAC) circuit was designed to control applied unit voltage at working electrode and analog to digital converter (ADC) circuit was designed to measure the current range of $0.1{\sim}1000{\mu}A$ at counter electrode. Main control unit (MCU) circuit for controlling voltammetry system with 150 MHz clock speed, main memory circuit for the mathematical operation processing of the measured current value and independent power circuit for analog/digital circuit parts to reduce various noise were designed. From result of voltammetry system operation, oxidation current peaks which are proportional to the concentrations of Zn, Cd and Pb ions were found at each oxidation potential with high precision.

A new ripple analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has been developed. It consists of two parallel ADCs and a switching network. The circuit operates on the analog input signal in two serial steps. First, a coarse conversion is made to determine the most significant bits by the first parallel ADC. The resultant bits control the switching network to connect a series resistor segment, within which the analog signal is contained, to the second parallel ADC. At second step, a fine conversion is made to determine the least significant bits by the second parallel ADC. The circuit requires 2(2\ulcorner\ulcorner1) comparators, 2(2\ulcorner\ulcorner resistors, and 2(2\ulcorner\ulcorner swithches for N-bit resolution.

In this paper, we designed 12Bit DAC(Digital to Analog Converter) that applied to multiple-valued logic system to Binary system. The proposed D/A Converter structure consists of the Binary to Quaternary Converter(BQC) and Quaternary to Analog Converter(QAC). The BQC converts the two input binary signals to the one Digit Quaternary output signal. The QAC converts the Quaternary input signal to the Analog output signal. The proposed DAC structure can implement voltage mode DAC that high resolution low power consumption with reduced chip area. And also, it has advantage of the easy expansion of resolution and fast settling time.
