Title :
New Criterion for Testing Analog-to-Digital Converters for Statistical Evaluation
Abstract :
The influence of linearity errors on the statistical properties of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) outputs is discussed. It is shown that most ADCs available on the market cannot be used for precise statistical measurements. A measurement technique and an error definition is proposed to allow a careful evaluation of ADCs for statistical measurements.
