ADC Nonlinearity: Differential Nonlinearity<br />

Stephan Henzler Mixed-Signal-Electronics 2012/13<br />

Differential Nonlinearity (DNL):<br />

Deviation of the analog step size<br />

from 1VLSB (after removal of gain<br />

and offset error). Like the INL the<br />

DNL value is defined individually<br />

for each digital word<br />

Missing Codes:<br />

If one step vanishes completely<br />

the ADC is said to have a missing<br />

code. In practice the criterion for a<br />

missing code is a step width<br />

smaller than 0.1 x VLSB<br />
