Max voltage on any pin vs. GND
1. All voltages, except differential I/O bus voltage, are with respect to the network ground terminal.
2. Short-circuits can cause excessive heating. Destructive dissipation can result from short-circuits on the amplifiers.
3. When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is VIN < AGND or VIN > AVCC or DVCC), the current at
that pin should be limited to 10 mA. The 20 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can
safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 10 mA to two.

Definitions
Acquisition Time is the time required to acquire the input voltage. During this time, the hold capacitor is charged
by the input voltage.
Aperture Delay is the time between the fourth falling edge of SCLK and the time when the input signal is
internally acquired or held for conversion.
Channel-to-channel isolation is the residual noise injected on the selected channel by other unselected
channels.
Conversion Time is the time required, after the input voltage is acquired, to convert the input voltage to a digital
word.
Differential Non-Linearity (DNL) is the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.
Duty cycle is the ratio, for a periodic digital signal, of the high level duration divided by the total period.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) is a method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and Distortion or SINAD. ENOB is
defined as (SINAD - 1.76) / 6.02 and says that the converter is equivalent to a perfect ADC of this (ENOB)
number of bits.
Full Power Bandwidth is a measure of the frequency at which the reconstructed output fundamental drops 3dB
below its low frequency value for a full scale input.
Full Scale Error (single-ended input) is the deviation of the last code transition (111...110) to (111...111) from the
ideal (AVCC - 1.5 LSB or -1LSB), after adjusting for offset error.
Positive Full Scale Error (differential input) is the deviation of the last code transition (111...110) to (111...111)
from the ideal (AVCC - 1.5 LSB or -1LSB), after adjusting for offset error.
Negative Full Scale Error (differential input) is the deviation of the last code transition (111...110) to (111...111)
from the ideal (-AVCC + 1.5 LSB or +1LSB), after adjusting for offset error.
Integral Non-Linearity(INL) is the deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from negative full scale (½
LSB below the first code transition) through positive full scale (½ LSB above the last code transition). The
deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured from the center of that code value.
Intermodulation distortion (IMD) is the results of the product of two pure sinewaves at frequency fa and fb
applied to the ADC input. To avoid clipping when the sinewave are in phase, the level must be just below -6dBFS.
Assuming that the level of the two tones is equal, IMD2 is the difference in dBc between level(fa or fb) and level(fa
± fb). IMD3 is is the difference in dBc between level(fa or fb) and level(2fa ± fb) or level(fa ± 2fb).
Missing Codes are those output codes that will never appear at the ADC outputs. The ADC120 is guaranteed not
to have any missing codes.
Offset Error (Single-ended input) is the deviation of the first code transition (000...000) to (000...001) from the
ideal (i.e. GND +1 LSB).
Offset Error (Differential input) is the deviation of the mid-code transition (01…111) to (10…000) from the ideal
(i.e. AVCC/2 +1 LSB).
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the fundamental of input signal to
the rms value of the sum of all other spectral components below one-half the sampling frequency, not including
harmonics or DC-component.
Signal to Noise Plus Distortion (S/N+D or SINAD) is the ratio of the rms value of the fundamental of input
signal to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the sampling frequency, including
harmonics but excluding DC-component.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the desired signal amplitude
of fundamental to the amplitude of the peak spurious spectral component, where a spurious spectral component
is any signal present in the output spectrum that is not present at the input and may or may not be a harmonic.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the ratio, expressed in dBc, of the rms total of the first nine harmonic
components at the output to the rms level of fundamental of the input signal frequency as seen at the output. THD
is calculated as THD = 20log10 [sqrt((Af2²+…+Af10²)/Af1²)]
where Af1 is the RMS power of the fundamental at the output and Af2 to Af10 are the RMS power in the first nine
harmonic frequencies.
Throughput Time is the minimum time required between the start of two successive conversions. It is the
acquisition time plus the conversion time.
