  • 在系統晶片(SOC)的測試上,要如何測試類比元件是一件很困難的問題,尤其是這些元件都在晶片裡面。所以我們選用內建自我測試(BIST)的方法來增加可控制性(controllability)和觀察能力(observability),以及減少自動測試儀器的負擔,進而減少測試的花費。
    我們提出了一個內建自我測試的方法來測試數位至類比轉換器(DACs)的一些參數。這些參數包括:偏移誤差(offset error),增益誤差(gain error),差異非線性(differential non-linearity),和整體非線性(integral non-linearity)。測試這些基本的參數我們可以驗證數位至類比轉換器的基本功能。我們提出的方法不需要許多準確的參考電壓,而且考慮到製程飄移的影響以及匹配(matching)的問題。

    偏移誤差、增益誤差、和差異非線性的測試是利用誤差放大器(Error Amplifiers)和比較器來做電壓的萃取和比較。利用誤差放大器可以準確的取出差異電壓(difference voltage),而且不帶有直流位準的成分。比較器是用來檢查取出的差異電壓是不是在容忍的範圍內。整體非線性的測試是先把差異非線性測完,然後利用數位至類比轉換器的輸出去追負斜坡(negative ramp)電壓,如果追到了就產生派波給控制器去產生下一個輸入碼,這個方法是把電壓轉換成時間,再用系統的時脈(clock)對時間取樣,然後利用公式計算,就可以求得整體非線性。

    我們用八位元(8-bit)的數位至類比轉換器在台積電(TSMC) 0.35 μm 2P4M的製程下模擬。在5V操作下的八位元數位至類比轉換器,偏移誤差、增益誤差、和差異非線性的測試準確度在LSB/11 以下,也就是說利用這個方法可以測十位元(10-bit)的數位至類比轉換器。整體非線性的測試解析度和測試時間有關,測試時間愈長準確度愈高。


    Without a large number of precision reference voltages and with the consideration of matching problems, a built-in-self-test approach is proposed to test the parameters of digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which includes offset error, gain error, differential nonlinearity (DNL) error, and integral nonlinearity (INL) error. The proposed structure is designed and simulated in an 8-bit DAC by using TSMC 0.35 μm 2P4M process. The accuracy of offset error test, gain error test, and DNL test are all beneath LSB/11 for 8-bit DAC at 5V supply voltage, and the accuracy of INL test depends on the testing time. The longer testing time, the more accurate is.
