Integral Nonlinearity (INL)

The Integral Nonlinearity (INL) error is the maximum

deviation of an actual transfer function from an ideal

transfer function (straight line) passing through the

defined end points of the DAC transfer function (after

offset and gain errors have been removed).

In the MCP48FXBX4/8, INL is calculated using the

defined end points, DAC code 100 and code 4000. INL

can be expressed as a percentage of FSR or in LSb.

INL is also called ‘Relative Accuracy’. Equation B-6

shows how to calculate the INL error in LSb and

Figure B-4 shows an example of INL accuracy.

Positive INL means higher VOUT voltage than the ideal

one. Negative INL means lower VOUT voltage than the

ideal one.

Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)

The

Differential

Nonlinearity

(DNL)

error

(see

Figure B-5) is the measure of step-size between codes

in an actual transfer function. The ideal step-size

between codes is 1 LSb. A DNL error of zero would

imply that every code is exactly 1 LSb wide. If the DNL

error is less than 1 LSb, the DAC ensures monotonic

output and no missing codes. Equation B-7 shows how

to calculate the DNL error between any two adjacent

codes in LSb.
