发明名称 TESTING ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL AND DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTERS
摘要 Testing of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters formed in integrated circuits. In one embodiment, a method of testing an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter comprises applying an analog test signal of a first frequency to an input of the A/D converter. Sampling digital byte samples from an output of the A/D converter at a second sampling frequency and comparing select digital byte samples with each other. When the select digital byte samples match, storing a verify bit in a memory to verify the A/D converter is working. In another embodiment, a method of testing a digital-to-analog (D/A) comprises creating repeating digital byte samples with a logic circuit formed in the integrated circuit. Converting the repeating digital byte samples into an analog test signal with the D/A converter. Comparing the frequency of the analog test signal with the frequency of an expected analog signal to determine if the D/A converter is working.
