Abstract :
The accuracy of AD converters can be improved by error correction. The presented ADC analyzer and calibrator, based on a histogram test with small triangular input signals, determines the static errors like gain, offset and linearity. The advantages of the principle are fast results with a high level of confidence and small experimental burden.
