† Notice: Stresses above those listed under "Absolute
Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of
the device at those or any other conditions above those indi-
cated in the operation listings of this specification is not
implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: This parameter is established by characterization and not 100% tested.
2: INL is the difference between the endpoint’s 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
+ and V
IN
-.
4: Input impedance is inversely proportional to clock frequency; typical values are for the MCP3550/1 device. V
REF
=5V.
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.
