External Reference Characteristics

Operating conditions: The accuracy characteristics numbers are based on the characterization of the following input reference levels and VDD ranges:
Table 1. ADC Accuracy Characteristics External Reference(2)
Symbol Description Conditions Min. Typ. Max. Unit
Res Resolution   - 10 - bit
INL Integral Non-linearity   fADC = 15 ksps - 0.9 3.5 LSB
  fADC = 77 ksps - 0.9 3.5
fADC = 115 ksps - 1.2 3.5
DNL(1) Differential Non-linearity   fADC = 15 ksps - 0.2 1.0 LSB
  fADC = 77 ksps - 0.4 1.0
  fADC = 115 ksps - 0.8 2.0
EABS Absolute accuracy   fADC = 15 ksps - 2 5 LSB
fADC = 77 ksps - 2 5
fADC = 115 ksps - 2 5
EGAIN Gain error   fADC = 15 ksps -1 2 4 LSB
fADC = 77 ksps -1 2 4
fADC = 115 ksps -1 2 4
EOFF Offset error     -4 -0.5 2 LSB
Notes:
  1. 1.A DNL error of less than or equal to 1 LSB ensures a monotonic transfer function with no missing codes.
  2. 2.These parameters are for design guidance only. Not production tested.
