An ADC and DAC Differential Non-Linearity (DNL)

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

Summary:

As in the case of INL, DNL is an important parameter of an ADC or DAC because it is a measure of their non-linearity. DNL stands for Differential Non-Linearity and quantifies the ADC or DAC precision.

An ADC and DAC Integral Non-Linearity (INL)

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

Summary:

What is INL? This term describes the non-linearity of Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) and Digital to Analog Converters (DAC). INL stands for Integral Non-Linearity. Is this term important? Should we be concerned about this specification? The answer is yes.
