4. SPECIFICATION DEFINITIONS
Linearity Error
The deviation of a code from a straight line which connects the two end points of the A/D
Converter transfer function. One end point is located 1/2 LSB below the first code transition
and the other end point is located 1/2 LSB beyond the code transition to all ones. Units in
percent of full-scale.
Differential Nonlinearity
The deviation of a code’s width from the ideal width. Units in LSBs.
Full Scale Error
The deviation of the last code transition from the ideal [{(VREF+) - (VREF-)} - 3/2 LSB].
Units are in LSBs.
Offset Error
The deviation of the mid-scale transition (111...111 to 000...000) from the ideal (1/2 LSB below
zero volts differential between the AIN+ and AIN- pins). Units are in LSBs.
