The paper proposes a novel approach to evaluate the measurement uncertainty of time domain dynamic parameters in Digital to Analog Converters (DACs). In particular, DAC rise time and fall time are taken into account and analyzed experimentally by means of dedicated measurement stations. The uncertainty of such measures is evaluated using the bootstrap method in order to define confidence intervals from short acquisition records without needing hypotheses about the measurand distribution. The final aim of this work is to give a contribution, in terms of uncertainty assessment, for the draft of IEEE Std.1658 concerning terminology and test methods for DACs.

Abstract
The paper proposes a novel approach to evaluate the measurement uncertainty of time domain dynamic parameters in Digital to Analog Converters (DACs). In particular, DAC rise time and fall time are taken into account and analyzed experimentally by means of dedicated measurement stations. The uncertainty of such measures is evaluated using the bootstrap method in order to define confidence intervals from short acquisition records without needing hypotheses about the measurand distribution. The final aim of this work is to give a contribution, in terms of uncertainty assessment, for the draft of IEEE Std.1658 concerning terminology and test methods for DACs.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
