(LSB) size and is equal to the reference voltage
divided by 65,536. This means that any offset or gain
error inherent in the A/D converter will appear to
increase, in terms of LSB size, as the reference
voltage is reduced. For a reference voltage of 2.5V,
the value of LSB is 38.15 μ V, and for reference
voltage of 5V, the LSB is 76.3 μ V.
The noise inherent in the converter will also appear to
increase with lower LSB size. With a 5V reference,
the internal noise of the converter typically contributes
only 1.5LSBs peak-to-peak of potential error to the
output code. When the external reference is 2.5V, the
potential error contribution from the internal noise will
be 2 times larger (3LSBs). The errors due to the
internal noise are Gaussian in nature and can be
reduced by averaging consecutive conversion results.
