Definitions

ANALOG BANDWIDTH

The analog input frequency at which the spectral power of the

fundamental frequency (as determined by the FFT analysis) is

reduced by 3 dB.

APERTURE DELAY

The delay between the 50% point of the rising edge of the

ENCODE command and the instant at which the analog input is

sampled.

APERTURE UNCERTAINTY (JITTER)

The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.

CROSSTALK

Coupling onto one channel being driven by a low level (-40 dBFS)

signal when the adjacent interfering channel is driven by a full-

scale signal.

DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG INPUT RESISTANCE,

DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG INPUT CAPACITANCE, AND

DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG INPUT IMPEDANCE

The real and complex impedances measured at each analog input

port. The resistance is measured statically and the capacitance and

differential input impedances are measured with a network

analyzer.

DIFFERENTIAL ANALOG INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE

The peak to peak differential voltage that must be applied to the

converter to generate a full scale response. Peak differential voltage

is computed by observing the voltage on a single pin and

subtracting the voltage from the other pin, which is 180 degrees out

of phase. Peak to peak differential is computed by rotating the

inputs phase 180 degrees and taking the peak measurement again.

Then the difference is computed between both peak measurements.

DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY

The deviation of any code width from an ideal 1 LSB step.

EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS

The effective number of bits (ENOB) is calculated from the

measured SNR based on the equation:

ENCODE PULSE WIDTH/DUTY CYCLE

Pulse width high is the minimum amount of time that the

ENCODE pulse should be left in logic “1” state to achieve rated

performance; pulse width low is the minimum time ENCODE

pulse should be left in low state. See timing implications of

changing tENCH in text. At a give clock rate, these specs define an

acceptable Encode duty cycle.

HARMONIC DISTORTION, SECOND

The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the

second harmonic component, reported in dBc.

HARMONIC DISTORTION, THIRD

The ratio of the rms signal amplitude to the rms value of the third

harmonic component, reported in dBc.

INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY

The deviation of the transfer function from a reference line

measured in fractions of 1 LSB using a “best straight line”

determined by a least square curve fit.
