Gain errror of ADC
Apr 19th, 2007, 7:35am
 
The gain error of any ADC is measured at the last code transition point i.e. at the full scale range. Is it beacuse, we are measuring the worst case scenario as the input is FS? or what is the reason behind this?

Thanks,

Babun

Hi Babun,
Its because for the gain error measurement, you assume that error is 0 for the first code. Its like taking 2 intersecting pencils, assuming one is ideal and measuring the deviation at the far end considering the intersecting point as origin.

Hope that helps.

It is actually the slope of the transfer relationship (Ignoring INL, DNL for the moment) - Google it, theres stuff out there on the parameters.
