Abstract

This paper describes a new Built-In-Self-Test(BIST)scheme for estimation of static non-linearity errors in digitalto analog converters (DACs). The BIST schememeasures each transition and estimates non-linearity errors.It makes use of a sample and subtract circuit and aVCO. The circuit is designed using 0:35µm CMOS technologyfrom AMS. The simulation results are included inthis paper. Errors estimated using the BIST scheme simulationmatch well with measured errors.
