22.7.3 ADC Accuracy Definitions
An n-bit single-ended ADC converts a voltage linearly between GND and V
REF
in 2
n
steps
(LSBs). The lowest code is read as 0, and the highest code is read as 2
n
-1.
Several parameters describe the deviation from the ideal behavior:
• Offset: The deviation of the first transition (0x000 to 0x001) compared to the ideal transition (at
0.5 LSB). Ideal value: 0 LSB.
