Absolute accuracy
Absolute accuracy is the difference between output code based on the theoretical A/D conversion characteristics, and the
actual A/D conversion result. When measuring absolute accuracy, the voltage at the midpoint of the width of analog
input voltage (1-LSB width), that can meet the expectation of outputting an equal code based on the theoretical A/D
conversion characteristics, is used as an analog input voltage. For example, if 12-bit resolution is used and if reference
voltage (VREFH0) = 5.12 V, then 1-LSB width becomes 1.25 mV, and 0 mV, 1.25 mV, 2.5 mV, ... are used as analog
input voltages.
If analog input voltage is 10 mV, absolute accuracy = ±5 LSB means that the actual A/D conversion result is in the range
of 003h to 00Dh though an output code, 008h, can be expected from the theoretical A/D conversion characteristics.
Integral nonlinearity error (INL)
Integral nonlinearity error is the maximum deviation between the ideal line when the measured offset and full-scale
errors are zeroed, and the actual output code.
