Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. Among them, Figure 1A shows the circuit diagram D of the analog digital converter integration circuit (hereinafter referred to as ADC 1C) used in the conventional art, and Figure IB shows the analog signal in the ADC IC. Timing diagram of conversion to digital signal. Because this ADC 1C conversion method between analog digits can only obtain digital conversion 层 after a layer-by-layer comparison, it is also called a Continuous Approximation analog digital conversion integrated circuit. In Fig. 1A, the continuous progressive ADC 1C 100 includes a comparator 105 and a digital analog converter (DAC) IC 110. The continuous progressive ADC IC 100 used in the prior art has a plurality of digital output terminals, and these output terminals can output digital signals obtained by analog signal conversion. During the conversion process, as shown in Figure 1B, the 'continuously progressive ADC 1C 100 first sets the most significant bit (MSB) to 1 and compares it with the input analog signal voltage 値. Since the analog signal voltage 値 is relatively small, the MSB of the digital output is set to 0. Then, the same operation is performed on subsequent bits' until all the digital output bits are set. The digital output byte obtained at this time (such as the digital output in Figure 1B ◦ 1101011) represents the digital conversion of the input analog signal 値.

Description of the invention (α) Procedure for grid test. Please refer to Figure 1c, which shows a flow chart of the method used to test a continuous progressive analog-to-digital converter in the prior art. First, in step S100, a digital preset 値 for comparison with the above-mentioned digital conversion 値 must be provided first, and a test 値 is set to be equivalent to this digital preset , to facilitate subsequent actions. Also, set an error multiple to zero. Next, in step S105, it is first tested whether the test value and the digital conversion value are the same. If they are the same, the digital-to-digital converter meets the specifications; if they are not the same, the next test process must be performed, which is step S110. In step S110, the error multiple is increased by 1 d. The purpose of the error multiple is to multiply it with the Least Significant Bit (LSB) to obtain an error 値. Then, at step S115, it is judged whether the error multiple is greater than a preset fixed value, that is, to ensure that the error value is still within the allowable range. When the error multiple is greater than the preset fixed threshold, the continuous progressive analog-to-digital converter does not meet the specifications; otherwise, the next test is required. In step S120, the digital preset 値 plus the error 先 is first set as the test 値. After that, the test 値 is compared with the digital conversion 値 in step S125. If the two are the same, the continuous progressive analog-to-digital converter meets the specifications; when the two are different, step S130 must be performed. Step S130 sets the digital preset 値 minus the error 値 as the test 値, and then returns to step S105 to continue the test operation until it is determined whether the continuous progressive analog digital converter meets the specifications. Assuming that the error that can be tolerated is within the 3 least significant bits, then (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page). ------------ I Order · I -------.

Description of the invention (3) Must be done up to 7 times in total Testing to determine whether this continuous-to-analog analog-to-digital converter meets specifications. As the ratio between the tolerable error and the least significant bit 値 increases, more tests must be performed. In summary, it is known that when testing whether a continuous progressive analog-to-digital converter meets the specifications, it must be tested multiple times to complete. And the number of tests will increase as the ratio between the tolerable error 値 and the least significant bit 値 increases. In view of this, the present invention proposes a continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit test method, which is applicable to a continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit that can tolerate an error voltage 値. This test method first provides an analog test voltage and a digital test bit representing the analog test voltage. After that, input the upper limit voltage 値 of the digital test 误差 plus the error voltage 値 and the digital analog conversion, and the lower limit voltage 値 of the digital test 値 minus the error voltage 値 and the digital analog conversion. Finally, compare the analog test voltage with the upper voltage limit 値 and lower voltage limit 値, respectively. When the analog test voltage is larger than the upper voltage limit, this continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit does not meet the specifications; when the analog test voltage is less than the lower voltage limit, the continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit also Also out of specification. The invention also proposes a continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit test method, which is applicable to a continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit that can tolerate an error voltage 値.

Whether the progressive analog-to-digital conversion integrated circuit meets specifications. Among them, when the analog test voltage is lower than the lower voltage limit 値, or when the analog test voltage is higher than the upper voltage limit ', the continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit is out of specification. The invention also proposes a test circuit of an analog digital conversion integrated circuit, which is suitable for a continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit that can tolerate a period of error voltage, and is used when testing with an analog test voltage. The analog test voltage can be converted from a continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit to a digital test 値. This test circuit includes a digital analog converter and a comparator. Among them, a digital analog converter can convert a digital voltage 输入 inputted into an analog voltage 値. The digital voltage can be the value obtained by adding the error to the digital test or the error obtained by subtracting the error from the digital test. In addition, the comparator is used to compare the analog test voltage with the analog voltage 値 and output a comparison result. Among them, when the analog test voltage is greater than the analog voltage 値, the comparison result is 1; and when the analog test voltage is less than the analog voltage 値, the comparison result is 0.

The digital analog converter 205 can input a digital voltage through the digital output input terminal D1 / 0, and convert the digital voltage 为 into an analog voltage 値. The analog test voltage used to test the continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit 200 is input into the comparator 210 through the analog input terminal IN. The comparator 210 compares the analog test voltage with the analog voltage 値 described above, and outputs a comparison result obtained through the comparison through the output terminal Ro. The above-mentioned digital voltage 値 can be a digital upper limit 所得 obtained by adding a digital test 値 and an error 値, or a digital lower limit 値 obtained by subtracting an error 由 from the digital test 値. In addition, the comparison result output from the output terminal Ro may have several conditions. Please refer to Figures 4A-4C, which respectively show several possible comparison result output conditions. In Figure 4A, between time T0 and T1, since the digital input voltage (ie, the above-mentioned digital voltage 値) is smaller than the analog input voltage (ie, the above-mentioned analog test voltage), the voltage output by the comparator 210 is Low voltage (or commonly referred to as 0 in binary). Between the time T1 and T2, since the digital input voltage is larger than the analog input voltage, the voltage output through the comparator 210 is a high voltage (or generally referred to as 1 in binary). In the case of such test output results, it means that the continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit is in compliance with the specifications. It must be noted that in Figure 4A, the digital upper limit is first compared with the analog test voltage, and then the digital lower limit is compared with the analog test voltage ------------ ^ *- ----- Order --------- Line (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) A7 B7 441192 5 8 06 t \ v f. Doc / 006 V. Description of the invention (points) Comparison, so the comparator output is 01. However, if the digital lower limit is first compared with the analog test voltage, and then the digital upper limit is compared with the analog test voltage, if the continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit meets the specifications, the output result should be 10. Figures 4B and 4C are the output results that may occur when the continuous progressive analog digital conversion integrated circuit is out of specification. 13 In Figure 4B, the digital input voltage (including the upper digital limit and lower digital limit) has been Both are smaller than the analog input voltage, so the output results are all high voltage (represented by 1). In contrast, in Figure 4C, because the digital input voltage (including the digital upper limit 値 and digital lower limit 値) is always greater than the analog input voltage, the output results are all low voltage (represented by 0). It can also be seen that, based on the difference in the output results, it is also possible to determine the reason for this continuous progressive analog-to-digital conversion. The integrated circuit is out of specification. In summary, the advantages of the present invention are briefly described below. The invention not only can save many steps and time for testing, but also can find out the reason for non-compliance when it finds non-compliance after the test.
