6. A/D Conversion Accuracy Definitions: A/D conversion accuracy in the H8/3028 Group is
defined as follows:
• Resolution:................... Digital output code length of A/D converter
• Offset error: ................. Deviation from ideal A/D conversion characteristic of analog input
voltage required to raise digital output from minimum voltage value
0000000000 to 0000000001 (figure 15.10)
• Full-scale error: ........... Deviation from ideal A/D conversion characteristic of analog input
voltage required to raise digital output from 1111111110 to
1111111111 (figure 15.10)
• Quantization error: ...... Intrinsic error of the A/D converter; 1/2 LSB (figure 15.9)
• Nonlinearity error:....... Deviation from ideal A/D conversion characteristic in range from zero
volts to full scale, exclusive of offset error, full-scale error, and
quantization error.
• Absolute accuracy: ...... Deviation of digital value from analog input value, including offset
error, full-scale error, quantization error, and nonlinearity error.
