Figure 26-13. 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 26-14. 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.
