Feature Description (continued)

Next to each transfer function is shown the corresponding error plot. Many people may be more familiar with

error plots than transfer functions. The analog input voltage to the ADC is provided by either a linear ramp or by

the discrete output steps of a high resolution DAC. Notice that the error is continuously displayed and includes

the quantization uncertainty of the ADC. For example the error at point 1 of Figure 21 is +1

⁄2 LSB because the

digital code appeared 1

⁄2 LSB in advance of the center-value of the tread. The error plots always have a

constant negative slope and the abrupt up-side steps are always 1 LSB in magnitude.
