Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step width and the ideal value of 1LSB. A
DNL error specification of less than 1LSB guarantees
no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (t
AJ
) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the time between the samples.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (t
AD
) is the time between the rising
edge of the sampling clock and the instant when an
actual sample is taken.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital sam-
ples, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of full-scale
analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization error
(residual error). The ideal, theoretical minimum analog-
to-digital noise is caused by quantization error only and
results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
SNR = (6.02
✕
N + 1.76)dB
