Precision of Independently Based Gain and Offset Error of an ADC Using the Histogram Method

Abstract

Two of the parameters that are determined when testing an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) are the gain and offset errors. One of the ways to define these two parameters is called ldquoindependently based.rdquo In this paper, we derive the precision of the gain and offset errors estimated with the histogram test method affected by additive noise.
