6. Definition of A/D Converter Terms
Resolution
: Analog variation that is recognized by an A/D converter.
Non linearity
error
: Deviation between a line across zero-transition line ( “00 0000 0000” ← → “00 0000 0001” )
and full-scale transition line ( “11 1111 1110” ← → “11 1111 1111” ) and actual conversion
characteristics.
Differential
: Deviation of input voltage, which is required for changing output code by 1 LSB, from an ideal
linearity error
value.
Total error
: Difference between an actual value and a theoretical value. A total error includes zero
transition error, full-scale transition error, and linear error.
