12.2 16-bit ADC characteristics
[1] Based on characterization; not tested in production.
[2] Typical ratings are not guaranteed. The values listed are at room temperature (25 C), nominal supply 
voltages.
[3] <TBD> The input resistance of ADC channels <tbd> to <tbd> is higher than ADC channels <tbd> to <tbd>.
[4] C
ia
 represents the external capacitance on the analog input channel for sampling speeds of <tbd> 
Msamples/s.
[5] The differential linearity error (E
D
) is the difference between the actual step width and the ideal step width. 
See Figure 28.
[6] The integral non-linearity (E
L(adj)
) is the peak difference between the center of the steps of the actual and 
the ideal transfer curve after appropriate adjustment of gain and offset errors. See Figure 28.
[7] The offset error (E
O
) is the absolute difference between the straight line which fits the actual curve and the 
straight line which fits the ideal curve. See Figure 28.
[8] The full-scale error voltage or gain error (E
G
) is the difference between the straight-line fitting the actual 
transfer curve after removing offset error, and the straight line which fits the ideal transfer curve. See 
Figure 28.
