Abstract
This Chapter deals with the methods used for testing and characterizing data converters. We shall start with the static method for testing DNL and INL. Following this, we shall consider the testing of DACs dynamic performances, namely settling time, glitch and distortion. Static ADC testing will also be considered. Subsequently, we shall study the histogram method with different types of input. Distortion and intermodulation tests are also discussed. The use of sine wave and FFT in extracting part specifications is also considered.
