Figure 7. gives a visual definition of the INL error. The chart

shows a 3-bit converter transfer curve with greatly exaggerated

DNL errors to show the deviation of the real transfer curve from

the ideal one.

After a tester has measured all the transition voltages, the

computer draws a line parallel to the ideal transfer line. By defi-

nition the best fit line makes equal the positive and the negative

INL errors. For example, an INL error of –1 to +2 LSB’s relative

to the Ideal Line would be +1.5 LSB’s relative to the best fit line.

Clock and Conversion Timing

A system will clock the MP8799 continuously or it will give

clock pulses intermittently when a conversion is desired. The

timing of Figure 8a shows normal operation, while the timing of

Figure 8b keeps the MP8799 in balance and ready to sample the

analog input.

Analog Input

The MP8799 has very flexible input range characteristics.

The user may set VREF(+) and VREF(–) to two fixed voltages and

then vary the input DC and AC levels to match the VREF range.

Another method is to first design the analog input circuitry and

then adjust the reference voltages for the analog input range.

One advantage is that this approach may eliminate the need for

external gain and offset adjust circuitry which may be required

by fixed input range A/Ds.

The MP8799’s performance is optimized by using analog in-

put circuitry that is capable of driving the AIN input. Figure 9.

shows the equivalent circuit for AIN.
