O sistema desenvolvido possui limitações quanto aos tipos de conversores analógico-digitais que podem ser testados, devidas às restrições impostas pelos equipamentos disponíveis neste momento. Sua estrutura, no entanto, foi concebida para permitir a expansão destes limites com a troca dos instrumentos limitantes à medida que estes forem adquiridos. A avaliação da sua funcionalidade foi realizada testando dois conversores analógico-digitais que têm características distintas. Enquanto um dos dispositivos testados tem resolução nominal de 10 bits e taxa de conversão de 80 MSPS, o outro tem resolução de 8 bits e taxa de conversão nominal de 8kSPS. A motivação para o desenvolvimento deste sistema está no projeto de conversores analógico-digitais integrados que se encontra em andamento no LPM-FEEC-Unicamp. A disponibilidade de um ambiente de teste com as propriedades do sistema desenvolvido é um requisito importante para o sucesso do projeto, pois viabiliza a verificação imediata dos circuitos construídos, reduzindo o tempo de convergência às metas do projeto / Abstract: This paper describes a system composed of various instruments, which are interconnected and managed by a software application, implementing a compact environment for characterization of analog-digital converters, according to the procedures described in IEEE 1057-1994 and IEEE 1241 -2000. The developed system has limitations on the kinds of analog-digital converters that can be tested due to restrictions imposed by the equipment available at the moment. Its structure, however, was designed to allow the expansion of these limits with the exchange of the limiting instruments as they are acquired. The evaluation of its functionality was performed by testing two analog-digital converters that have distinct characteristics. While one of the tested devices has nominal resolution of 10 bits and conversion rate of 80 MSPS, the other has 8-bit resolution and conversion rate four orders of magnitude below. The motivation for developing this system is the design of integrated analog-digital converters that is being carried on at the LPM-FEEC-Unicamp. The availability of a test environment with the properties of the developed system is an important requisite for the success of the project because it enables the immediate verification of the constructed circuits, thus reducing the convergence time to the project goals / Mestrado / Eletrônica, Microeletrônica e Optoeletrônica / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

The test of digital integrated circuits compares the test pattern results for the device under test (DUT) to the expected test pattern results of a standard reference. The standard response is typically obtained from simulations. The test pattern and response are created and evaluated assuming ideal test conditions. The standard response is normally stored within automated test equipment (ATE). However the use of ATE is the major contributor to the test cost. This thesis explores an alternative strategy to the standard response. As an alternative to the stored standard response, the response is estimated by fault tolerant technique. The purpose of the fault tolerant technique is to eliminate the need of standard response and enable online/real-time testing. Fault tolerant techniques use redundancy and majority voting to estimate the standard response. Redundancy in the circuit leads to fault aliasing. Fault aliasing misleads the majority voter in estimating the standard response. The statistics and phenomenon of aliasing are analyzed for benchmark circuits. The impact of fault aliasing on test with respect to coverage, test escape and over-kill is analyzed. The results show that aliasing can be detected with additional test vectors and get 100% fault coverage.
