10.8.4 Zero-scale error
This shows the difference between the actual measurement value of the analog input voltage and the theoretical value
(1/2LSB) when the digital output changes from 0......000 to 0......001.
If the actual measurement value is greater than the theoretical value, it shows the difference between the actual
measurement value of the analog input voltage and the theoretical value (3/2LSB) when the digital output changes from
0……001 to 0……010.
10.8.5 Full-scale error
This shows the difference between the actual measurement value of the analog input voltage and the theoretical value
(full-scale − 3/2LSB) when the digital output changes from 1......110 to 1......111.
10.8.6 Integral linearity error
This shows the degree to which the conversion characteristics deviate from the ideal linear relationship. It expresses
the maximum value of the difference between the actual measurement value and the ideal straight line when the zero-
scale error and full-scale error are 0.
10.8.7 Differential linearity error
While the ideal width of code output is 1LSB, this indicates the difference between the actual measurement value and
the ideal value.
