ADC Accuracy Definitions

An n-bit single-ended ADC converts a voltage linearly between GND and V

REF

in 2

n

steps (LSBs). The lowest code is read as 0, and the highest code is read as 2

n

-1.

Several parameters describe the deviation from the ideal behavior:

Offset: The deviation of the first transition (0x000 to 0x001) compared to the ideal
transition (at 0.5 LSB). Ideal value: 0 LSB.
