POSITIVE GAIN ERROR is the difference between the positive full-scale error and the offset error.

POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) is a measure of how well a change in supply voltage is rejected.

PSRR is calculated from the ratio of the change in offset error for a given change in supply voltage, expressed in

PSRR = 20 LOG (

SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms

value of the sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sampling frequency, not including

harmonics or d.c.

SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/N+D or SINAD) Is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the

input signal to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the clock frequency, including

harmonics but excluding d.c.

SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the desired signal

amplitude to the amplitude of the peak spurious spectral component, where a spurious spectral component is

any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present at the input and may or may not be a harmonic.

TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio of the rms total of the first five harmonic components at the

output to the rms level of the input signal frequency as seen at the output, expressed in dB. THD is calculated as

first 5 harmonic frequencies.

THROUGHPUT TIME is the minimum time required between the start of two successive conversion.
