Figure 119. 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 120. 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.
