Peak Harmonic or Spurious Noise Figure 4. Distortion vs Input Frequency
The peak harmonic or spurious noise is the largest spec- tral component excluding the input signal and DC. This value is expressed in decibels relative to the RMS value of

Driving the Analog Input

It draws only one small current spike while charging the sample- Amplitude at (fa ± fb) IMD (fa ± fb) = 20log and-hold capacitor at the end of conversion.
