Figure 23-12. Integral Non-linearity (INL)
Differential Non-linearity (DNL): The maximum deviation of the actual code width (the interval between two
adjacent transitions) from the ideal code width (1 LSB). Ideal value: 0 LSB.
Figure 23-13. Differential Non-linearity (DNL)
Quantization Error: Due to the quantization of the input voltage into a finite number of codes, a range of input
voltages (1 LSB wide) will code to the same value. Always ±0.5 LSB.
Absolute Accuracy: The maximum deviation of an actual (unadjusted) transition compared to an ideal transition
for any code. This is the compound effect of Offset, Gain Error, Differential Error, Non-linearity, and Quantization
Error. Ideal value: ±0.5 LSB.
23.8 ADC Conversion Result
After the conversion is complete (ADIF is high), the conversion result can be found in the ADC Result Registers
(ADCL, ADCH).
