1.1.3 OUTPUT NON-LINEARITY
Figure 1-7 shows the Integral Non-Linearity (INL) of the
output voltage.
EQUATION 1-5:
INL = VOUT – VO_LIN
The output non-linearity specification in the Electrical
Specifications (with units of: % of FSR) is related to
Figure 1-7 by:
EQUATION 1-6:
VONL
=
-m----a----x---(--V----3--,---V----4---) ⋅ 100%
VDD – 0.6V
The Full-Scale Range (FSR) is VDD – 0.6V
(0.3V to VDD – 0.3V).

DIFFERENT VREF CONDITIONS
Some of the plots in Section 2.0 “Typical Performance
Curves”, have the conditions VREF = VDD/2 or
VREF = VDD. The equations and figures above are easily
modified for these conditions. The ideal VOUT equation
becomes:
EQUATION 1-7:
VO_ID = VREF + G(VIN – VREF)
VDD ≥ VREF > VSS = 0V
The complete linear model is:
EQUATION 1-8:
VON_LIN = G(1 + gE)(VIN – VIN_L + VOS) + 0.3V
VREF = VSS = 0V
where the new VIN end points are:
