18 / 28 page ![]() AD5678 Rev. C | Page 18 of 28 TERMINOLOGY Relative Accuracy For the DAC, relative accuracy, or integral nonlinearity (INL), is a measure of the maximum deviation in LSBs from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function. Figure 5, Figure 7, and Figure 9 show plots of typical INL vs. code. Differential Nonlinearity Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between the measured change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two adjacent codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB maximum ensures monotonicity. This DAC is guaranteed mono- tonic by design. Figure 6, Figure 8, and Figure 10 show plots of typical DNL vs. code. Offset Error Offset error is a measure of the difference between the actual VOUT and the ideal VOUT, expressed in millivolts in the linear region of the transfer function. Offset error is measured on the AD5678 with Code 512 loaded into the DAC register. It can be negative or positive and is expressed in millivolts. Zero-Code Error Zero-code error is a measure of the output error when zero code (0x0000) is loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, the output should be 0 V. The zero-code error is always positive in the AD5678, because the output of the DAC cannot go below 0 V. It is due to a combination of the offset errors in the DAC and output amplifier. Zero-code error is expressed in millivolts. Figure 18 shows a plot of typical zero-code error vs. temperature. Gain Error Gain error is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the ideal, expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range. Zero-Code Error Drift Zero-code error drift is a measure of the change in zero-code error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in μV/°C. Gain Error Drift Gain error drift is a measure of the change in gain error with changes in temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of full-scale range)/°C. Full-Scale Error Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale code (0xFFFF) is loaded into the DAC register. Ideally, the output should be VDD − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range. Figure 17 shows a plot of typical full-scale error vs. temperature. Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse Digital-to-analog glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the analog output when the input code in the DAC register changes state. It is normally specified as the area of the glitch in nV-s and is measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB at the major carry transition (0x7FFF to 0x8000). See Figure 34. DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes in the supply voltage. PSRR is the ratio of the change in VOUT to a change in VDD for full-scale output of the DAC. It is measured in decibels. VREF is held at 2 V, and VDD is varied ±10%. DC Crosstalk DC crosstalk is the dc change in the output level of one DAC in response to a change in the output of another DAC. It is measured with a full-scale output change on one DAC (or soft power-down and power-up) while monitoring another DAC. It is expressed in microvolts. DC crosstalk due to load current change is a measure of the impact that a change in load current on one DAC has to another DAC kept at midscale. It is expressed in microvolts per milliamp. Reference Feedthrough Reference feedthrough is the ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the DAC output to the reference input when the DAC output is not being updated (that is, LDAC is high). It is expressed in decibels. Channel-to-Channel Isolation Channel-to-channel isolation is the ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the output of one DAC to a sine wave on the reference input of another DAC. It is measured in decibels. Digital Feedthrough Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into the analog output of a DAC from the digital input pins of the device, but is measured when the DAC is not being written to (SYNC held high). It is specified in nV-s and measured with a full-scale change on the digital input pins, that is, from all 0s to all 1s or vice versa. |
