MAX1338
Gain Error
Gain error indicates how well the slope of the actual
transfer function matches the slope of the ideal transfer
function. For the MAX1338, the gain error is the differ-
ence between the measured positive full-scale and
negative full-scale transition points minus the difference
between the ideal positive full-scale and negative full-
scale bipolar transition points.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is a measure of the converter’s noise characteris-
tics. For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digi-
tal samples, SNR is the ratio of the full-scale analog
input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization error (resid-
ual error). The ideal, theoretical minimum analog-to-dig-
ital noise is caused by quantization noise error only and
results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
14-Bit, 4-Channel, Software-Programmable,
Multiranging, Simultaneous-Sampling ADC
