AD7671DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONSEffective Number of Bits (ENOB)Integral Nonlinearity Error (INL) A measurement of the resolution with a sine wave input. It is Linearity error refers to the deviation of each individual code related to S/(N+D) by the following formula: from a line drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive ENOB = (S/[N + D]dB – 1.76)/6.02) full scale.” The point used as negative full scale occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a and is expressed in bits. level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) measured from the middle of each code to the true straight line. The rms sum of the first five harmonic components to the rms Differential Nonlinearity Error (DNL) value of a full-scale input signal, expressed in decibels. In an ideal ADC, code transitions are 1 LSB apart. Differential Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) nonlinearity is the maximum deviation from this ideal value. It is The ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms often specified in terms of resolution for which no missing codes sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist fre- are guaranteed. quency, excluding harmonics and dc. The value for SNR is Full-Scale Error expressed in decibels. The last transition (from 011 . 10 to 011 . 11 in twos Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio (S/[N+D]) complement coding) should occur for an analog voltage 1 1/2 LSB The ratio of the rms value of the actual input signal to the rms below the nominal full scale (2.499886 V for the ±2.5 V range). sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist fre- The full-scale error is the deviation of the actual level of the last quency, including harmonics but excluding dc. The value for transition from the ideal level. S/(N+D) is expressed in decibels.

In Unipolar Mode, the first transition should occur at a level Transient Response 1/2 LSB above analog ground. The unipolar zero error is the The time required for the AD7671 to achieve its rated accuracy deviation of the actual transition from that point. after a full-scale step function is applied to its input. Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) The difference, in decibels (dB), between the rms amplitude of the input signal and the peak spurious signal. REV.
