AD9200DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONSOffset ErrorIntegral Nonlinearity (INL) The first transition should occur at a level 1 LSB above “zero.” Integral nonlinearity refers to the deviation of each individual Offset is defined as the deviation of the actual first code transi- code from a line drawn from “zero” through “full scale”. The tion from that point. point used as “zero” occurs 1/2 LSB before the first code transi- Gain Error tion. “Full scale” is defined as a level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last The first code transition should occur for an analog value 1 LSB code transition. The deviation is measured from the center of above nominal negative full scale. The last transition should each particular code to the true straight line. occur for an analog value 1 LSB below the nominal positive full Differential Nonlinearity (DNL, No Missing Codes) scale. Gain error is the deviation of the actual difference be- An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB tween first and last code transitions and the ideal difference apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. It is often between the first and last code transitions. specified in terms of the resolution for which no missing codes Pipeline Delay (Latency) (NMC) are guaranteed.
