Using the following formula, INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY (INL) INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line N = (SINAD – 1.76)/6.02 drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive full scale.” it is possible to get a measure of performance expressed as N, The point used as “negative full scale” occurs 1/2 LSB before the effective number of bits. the first code transition. “Positive full scale” is defined as a level Thus, the effective number of bits for a device for sine wave 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is inputs at a given input frequency can be calculated directly measured from the middle of each particular code to the true from its measured SINAD. straight line. TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD)DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY (DNL, NO MISSING THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic CODES) components to the rms value of the measured input signal; this An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB is expressed as a percentage or in decibels. apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Guaranteed no missing codes to 14-bit resolution indicates that all 16384 SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (SNR) codes, respectively, must be present over all operating ranges. SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the ZERO ERROR Nyquist frequency, excluding the first six harmonics and dc. The major carry transition should occur for an analog value The value for SNR is expressed in decibels. 1/2 LSB below VINA = VINB. Zero error is defined as the deviation of the actual transition from that point. SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) SFDR is the difference in dB between the rms amplitude of the GAIN ERROR input signal and the peak spurious signal. The first code transition should occur at an analog value 1/2 LSB above negative full scale.
