Abstract
As the Systems-on-Chips (SoCs) complexity increases, test cost contributes more in the total cost. Especially, test of deeply embedded analog and mixed signal blocks are the most costly test. Built-In Self-Test (BIST) is considered as a low cost substitution of traditional production test. This paper presents a low cost method for testing ADC´s offset and gain error. This is a complement of previous published linearity and spectral performance test methods. The simulation results show the method has good accuracy.
