These techniques are based on the use of \\(\\sum\\varDelta\\) streams for the stimulation of the ADC. Binary and ternary test stimuli have been proposed. In this chapter, we aim at the validation of these embedded test techniques, comparing the results obtained with the different types ...
Standard designs avoid the DAC precision problem by restricting the ADC and DAC to a single bit, while stability and matching considerations limit systems to three loops. This limit in turn defines the oversample ratio for a given effective bandwidth and noise performance. A simple modification to...
