ZERO ERROR
The major carry transition should occur for an analog value
1/2 LSB below VINA = VINB. Zero error is defined as the
deviation of the actual transition from that point.

The first code transition should occur at an analog value
1/2 LSB above negative full scale. The last transition should
occur at an analog value 1 1/2 LSB below the nominal full
scale. Gain error is the deviation of the actual difference
between first and last code transitions and the ideal differ-
ence between first and last code transitions.

APERTURE DELAY
Aperture delay is a measure of the sample-and-hold amplifier
(SHA) performance and is measured from the rising edge of the
clock input to when the input signal is held for conversion.

SIGNAL-TO-NOISE AND DISTORTION (S/N+D, SINAD)
RATIO
S/N+D is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input sig-
nal to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the
Nyquist frequency, including harmonics but excluding dc.
The value for S/N+D is expressed in decibels.

EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB)
For a sine wave, SINAD can be expressed in terms of the num-
ber of bits. Using the following formula,

+3 V to +5 V Digital Supply
N = (SINAD – 1.76)/6.02
it is possible to get a measure of performance expressed as N,
the effective number of bits.
Thus, effective number of bits for a device for sine wave inputs
at a given input frequency can be calculated directly from its
measured SINAD.
DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATION
INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY (INL)
INL refers to the deviation of each individual code from a line
drawn from “negative full scale” through “positive 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
level 1 1/2 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation
is measured from the middle of each particular code to the true
straight line.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD)
THD is the ratio of the rms sum of the first six harmonic
components to the rms value of the measured input signal and
is expressed as a percentage or in decibels.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (SNR)
SNR is the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal
to the rms sum of all other spectral components below the
Nyquist frequency, excluding the first six harmonics and dc.
The value for SNR is expressed in decibels.
DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY (DNL, NO MISSING
CODES)
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB
apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Guaranteed
no missing codes to 12-bit resolution indicates that all 4096
codes, respectively, must be present over all operating ranges.
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR)
SFDR is the difference in dB between the rms amplitude of the
input signal and the peak spurious signal.
