(3) Definition of A/D Converter Term s
• Resolution : Analog variation that is recognized by an A/D converter.
• Nonlinearity error : Deviation of the actual conversion characteristics from a straight line that connects
the zero transition point (0b0000000000 ←→ 0b0000000001) to the full-scale
transition point (0b1111111110 ←→ 0b1111111111).
• Differential nonlinearity error : Deviation from the ideal value of the input voltage that is required to
change the output code by 1LSB.
• Total error : Difference between the actual value and the theoretical value. The total error
includes zero transition error, full-scale transition error and nonlinearity error.
• Zero transition voltage: Input voltage which results in the minimum conversion value.
• Full scale transition Voltage : Input voltage which results in the maximum conversion value.
