NONLINEARITY OF CONVERSION A/C – CRITICAL REVIEW

A. Derkowski

Abstract

Due to the complexity of processing, the total error of the analog to digital conversion being the difference between the input and output signal is set of several constituent errors. They include, among others, integral nonlinearity error and differential nonlinearity error. Different methods of defining the errors depending on their source of origin as well as certain ambiguity of the presentation manner regarding information on converter parameters between manufacturers makes a clear-cut assessment of the total error of analog - digital processing trajectory difficult. This paper is an attempt at describing mutual relationships between those errors and the effect of one error on the behaviour of the others.
