Abstract:
A built-in-self test (BIST) scheme for analog circuitry functionality tests such as frequency response, gain, cut-off frequency, signal-to-noise ratio, and linearity measurement. The BIST scheme utilizes a built-in direct digital synthesizer (DDS) as the test pattern generator that can generate various test waveforms such as chirp, ramp, step frequency, two-tone frequencies, sweep frequencies, MSK, phase modulation, amplitude modulation, QAM and other hybrid modulations. The BIST scheme utilizes a multiplier followed by an accumulator as the output response analyzer (ORA). The multiplier extracts the spectrum information at the desired frequency without using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the accumulator picks up the DC component by averaging the multiplier output.

Abstract:
A direct digital synthesis (DDS) circuit utilizes high order delta-sigma interpolators to remove frequency, phase and amplitude domain quantization errors. The DDS employs an n-bit accumulator operative for receiving an input frequency word (FCW) representing the desired frequency output and converts the frequency word to phase information based upon the clock frequency of the DDS. A high-order delta-sigma interpolator is configured in frequency, phase or amplitude domain to noise-shape the quantization errors through a unit defined by the transfer function of 1-(1−z−1)k in either a feedforward or feedback manner. The delta-sigma interpolator of any order can be implemented using a single-stage pipelined topology with noise transfer function of (1−z−1)k. The DDS circuit also includes digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that convert the outputted sine and cosine amplitude words to analog sinusoidal quardrature signals; and deglitch analog low-pass filters that remove the small glitches due to data conversion.
