Full-Scale Error (EFS)

The Full-Scale Error (see Figure B-3) is the error on

the VOUT pin relative to the expected VOUT voltage

(theoretical) for the maximum device DAC register

code (code FFFh for 12-bit, code 3FFh for 10-bit and

code FFh for 8-bit); see Equation B-2. The error

depends on the resistive load on the VOUT pin (and

where that load is tied to, such as VSS or VDD). For

loads (to VSS) greater than specified, the Full-Scale

Error will be greater.

The error in bits is determined by the theoretical volt-

age step-size to give an error in LSb.

EQUATION B-2:

FULL-SCALE ERROR

B.5

Zero-Scale Error (EZS)

The Zero-Scale Error (see Figure B-2) is the difference

between the ideal and the measured VOUT voltage with

the DAC register code equal to 000h (Equation B-3).

The error depends on the resistive load on the VOUT pin

(and where that load is tied to, such as VSS or VDD). For

loads (to VDD) greater than specified, the Zero-Scale

Error will be greater.

The error in bits is determined by the theoretical

voltage step-size to give an error in LSb.

B.6

Total Unadjusted Error (ET)

The Total Unadjusted Error (ET) is the difference

between the ideal and the measured VOUT voltage.

Typically, calibration of the output voltage is

implemented to improve system performance.

The error in bits is determined by the theoretical

voltage step-size to give an error in LSb.

Equation B-4 shows the Total Unadjusted Error

calculation.
