"The Fundamentals of Mixed Signal Testing" explains the concepts and methodologies of testing mixed signal devices using ATE equipment.

The course introduces the instrumentation of a Mixed Signal Test System, with emphasis on the DSP (digital signal processing) capabilities. Ample time is spent explaining the mathematics necessary to fully understand signal sampling and waveform synthesis. Specifications for mixed signal devices are discussed and the method of verifying each individual parameter is explained in detail.

The testing of Digital to Analog and Analog to Digital converters is covered step by step including device conditioning, analog filtering, grounding issues and noise effects. Many practical aspects of test program development and debug are also included.

To insure that the student gains a complete understanding of the concepts presented, virtual test instrumentation is used. Laptop computers are used during the class for actual "hands on" lab projects. The labs demonstrate the principles of sampling, Fourier series, sinusoidal waveforms, FFT/DFT/Inverse Fourier transforms, signal generation and other mixed signal testing concepts. Each student receives a personal copy of the DSP Lab software which can be kept for later use and a 300+ page reference manual titled "Fundamentals of Mixed Signal Testing".
