Parameters Sym Min Typ Max Units Conditions
Note 1: This parameter is established by characterization and not 100% tested.
2: INL is the difference between the endpoints line and the measured code at the center of the quantization band.
3: This current is due to the leakage current and the current due to the offset voltage between V
IN

5: Characterized by design, but not tested.
6: Rejection performance depends on internal oscillator accuracy; see Section 4.0 “Device Overview” for more informa-
tion on oscillator and digital filter design. MCP3550/1 device rejection specifications characterized from 49 to 61 Hz.
