20090261999 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TESTING OF DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER - A current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is tested using a test component having a relaxation oscillator with an oscillation frequency based on the output current of the DAC. A series of test values is provided in sequence to the DAC for conversion to an output current with a magnitude that varies with the test values. The test component counts the number of oscillations (“the oscillation count”) of the relaxation oscillator over a fixed duration that is substantially equal for each test value. As the number of oscillations over the fixed duration depends on the oscillation frequency of the relaxation oscillator, which in turn is based on the magnitude of the output current, the oscillation count can be used as a relative measure of the magnitude of the output current for the corresponding test value. Accordingly, the oscillation counts for the test values can be used to determine operational characteristics of the DAC. | 10-22-2009 |
