AD7822/AD7825/AD7829TERMINOLOGY Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio The AD7822/AD7825/AD7829 are tested using the CCIF The measured ratio of signal-to-(noise + distortion) at the standard, where two input frequencies near the top end of the output of the analog-to-digital converter. The signal is the rms input bandwidth are used. In this case, the second- and third- amplitude of the fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all order terms are of different significance. The second-order terms nonfundamental signals up to half the sampling frequency are usually distanced in frequency from the original sine waves, (f and the third-order terms are usually at a frequency close to the S/2), excluding dc. The ratio is dependent upon the number of quantization levels in the digitization process: the more levels, input frequencies. As a result, the second- and third-order terms the smaller the quantization noise. The theoretical signal-to-(noise are specified separately. The calculation of the intermodulation + distortion) ratio for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave distortion is as per the THD specification, where it is the ratio input is given by of the rms sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the fundamental expressed in decibels (dB). Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02 N + 1.76) dB Thus, for an 8-bit converter, this is 50 dB. Channel-to-Channel Isolation A measure of the level of crosstalk between channels. It is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) measured by applying a full-scale 20 kHz sine wave signal to The ratio of the rms sum of harmonics to the fundamental. For one input channel and determining how much that signal is the AD7822/AD7825/AD7829, it is defined as attenuated in each of the other channels.
