Abstract
A method for providing built-in self test (BiST) for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) by automatic test equipment (ATE) is described. Output codes are received from the ADC. The output codes are translated to generate a functional pattern. Performance metrics are determined for the ADC using the functional pattern. The ADC may be on a device-under-test (DUT).
