TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
For the DAC, relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity is a
measurement of the maximum deviation, in LSBs, from a straight
line passing through the endpoints of the DAC transfer function.
Typical INL vs. code plots are shown in Figure 14 and Figure 17.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity 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 monotonic by
design. Typical DNL vs. code plots are shown in Figure 15 and
Figure 18.
Zero-Code Error
Zero-code error is a measurement of the output error when
zero code (0x0000) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the
output should be 0 V. The zero-code error is always positive in
the device because the output of the DAC cannot go below 0 V
due to a combination of the offset errors in the DAC and the
output amplifier. Zero-code error is expressed in mV. A plot of
zero-code error vs. temperature is shown in Figure 23.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measurement of the output error when full-
scale code (0xFFFF) is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the
output should be VDD − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed in
percent of full-scale range (% of FSR). A plot of full-scale error
vs. temperature is shown in Figure 22.
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 and is expressed as % of FSR.
Offset Error Drift
Offset error drift is a measurement of the change in offset error
with a change in temperature. It is expressed in μV/°C.
Gain Temperature Coefficient
Gain temperature coefficient is a measurement of the change in
gain error with changes in temperature. It is expressed in ppm
of FSR/°C.
Offset Error
Offset error is a measure of the difference between VOUT (actual)
and VOUT (ideal) expressed in mV in the linear region of the
transfer function. Offset error is measured on the device with
Code 512 loaded in the DAC register. It can be negative or
positive.
DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes
in the supply voltage. It is the ratio of the change in VOUT to a
change in VDD for full-scale output of the DAC. It is measured
in mV/V. VREF is held at 2 V, and VDD is varied by ±10%.
Output Voltage Settling Time
Output voltage settling time is the amount of time it takes for
the output of a DAC to settle to a specified level for a ¼ to ¾
full-scale input change and is measured from the rising edge
of SYNC.
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-sec,
and is measured when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB
at the major carry transition (0x7FFF to 0x8000) (see Figure 35).
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into the
analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the DAC,
but it is measured when the DAC output is not updated. It is
specified in nV-sec and measured with a full-scale code change
on the data bus, that is, from all 0s to all 1s and vice versa.
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. It is expressed in dB.
Noise Spectral Density (NSD)
NSD is a measurement of the internally generated random noise.
Random noise is characterized as a spectral density (nV/√Hz).
It is measured, in nV/√Hz, by loading the DAC to midscale and
measuring noise at the output. A noise spectral density plot is
shown in Figure 38.
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 kept
at midscale. It is expressed in μV.
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 μV/mA.
Digital Crosstalk
Digital crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one DAC at midscale in response to a full-scale code change
(all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) in the input register of another DAC.
It is measured in standalone mode and expressed in nV-sec.
Analog Crosstalk
Analog crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the output
of one DAC due to a change in the output of another DAC. It is
measured by loading one of the input registers with a full-scale
code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa). Then execute a
software LDAC and monitor the output of the DAC whose
digital code was not changed. The area of the glitch is expressed
in nV-sec.
