Gn. Stenbakken et Tm. Souders, DEVELOPING LINEAR ERROR MODELS FOR ANALOG DEVICES, IEEE transactions on instrumentation and measurement, 43(2), 1994, pp. 157-163
Techniques are presented for developing linear error models for analog
and mixed-signal devices. A simulation program developed to understan
d the modeling process is described, and results of simulations are pr
esented. Methods for optimizing the size of empirical error models bas
ed on simulated error analyses are included. Once established, the mod
els can be used in a comprehensive approach for optimizing the testing
of the subject devices. Models are developed using data from a group
of 13-bit A/D converters and compared with the simulation results.
