Absolute accuracy

Absolute accuracy is the difference between output code based on the theoretical A/D conversion characteristics, and the

actual A/D conversion result. When measuring absolute accuracy, the voltage at the midpoint of the width of analog

input voltage (1-LSB width), which can meet the expectation of outputting an equal code based on the theoretical A/D

conversion characteristics, is used as the analog input voltage. For example, if 12-bit resolution is used and the reference

voltage VREFH0 = 3.072 V, then 1-LSB width becomes 0.75 mV, and 0 mV, 0.75 mV, and 1.5 mV are used as the analog

input voltages. If analog input voltage is 6 mV, an absolute accuracy of ±5 LSB means that the actual A/D conversion

result is in the range of 003h to 00Dh, though an output code of 008h can be expected from the theoretical A/D

conversion characteristics.

Integral nonlinearity error (INL)

Integral nonlinearity error is the maximum deviation between the ideal line when the measured offset and full-scale

errors are zeroed, and the actual output code.

Differential nonlinearity error (DNL)

Differential nonlinearity error is the difference between 1-LSB width based on the ideal A/D conversion characteristics

and the width of the actually output code.

Offset error

Offset error is the difference between the transition point of the ideal first output code and the actual first output code.

Full-scale error

Full-scale error is the difference between the transition point of the ideal last output code and the actual last output code.
