Section 16 A/D Converter (8 Analog Input Channel Version)
• Full-scale error
The deviation of the analog input voltage value from the ideal A/D conversion characteristic
when the digital output changes from B'1111111110 to B'1111111111. (See figure 16.9.)
• Quantization error
The deviation inherent in the A/D converter, given by 1/2 LSB. (See figure 16.8.)
• Nonlinearity error
The error with respect to the ideal A/D conversion characteristic between the zero voltage and
the full-scale voltage. Does not include the offset error, full-scale error, or quantization error.
• Absolute precision
The deviation between the digital value and the analog input value. Includes the offset error,
full-scale error, quantization error, and nonlinearity error.
