DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the
output of one DAC due to a digital code change and subsequent
analog output change of another DAC. It is measured by loading
the attack channel with a full-scale code change (all 0s to all 1s
and vice versa), using the write to and update commands while
monitoring the output of the victim channel that is at midscale.
The energy of the glitch is expressed in nV-sec.
Multiplying Bandwidth
The amplifiers within the DAC have a finite bandwidth. The
multiplying bandwidth is a measure of this. A sine wave on the
reference (with full-scale code loaded to the DAC) appears on
the output. The multiplying bandwidth is the frequency at
which the output amplitude falls to 3 dB below the input.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the difference between an ideal sine wave and its
attenuated version using the DAC. The sine wave is used as the
Data Sheet
reference for the DAC, and the THD is a measurement of the
harmonics present on the DAC output. It is measured in dB.
Voltage Reference Temperature Coefficient
Voltage reference TC is a measure of the change in the reference
output voltage with a change in temperature. The reference TC
is calculated using the box method, which defines the TC as the
maximum change in the reference output over a given tempera-
ture range expressed in ppm/°C, as follows;

where:
VREFmax is the maximum reference output measured over the
total temperature range.
VREFmin is the minimum reference output measured over the total
temperature range.
VREFnom is the nominal reference output voltage, 2.5 V.
TempRange is the specified temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
