Figure 18 illustrates a test signal of 5.55 kHz, 116.3 dB down, which is only 6.3 microvolts peak to peak,
or about 1/10 of a code width. The converter can reliably digitize this signal because of its excellent DNL
and proper dither.

Figure 19 is a spectral plot of the converter with its input grounded. The spectral information is on a log-
arithmic frequency axis as this illustrates the very low frequency behavior of the converter. Figure 19 was
produced from averaging the results of 16 FFT outputs using 2 million samples each. This plot also illus-
trates that the converter noise floor is free of spurious components that may be present in other converters
due to on-chip digital interference.
