Question 1

What does Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) measure?

  • The difference between actual and ideal voltage changes in A/D conversions.
  • The timing of conversion in A/D circuits.
  • The overall power consumption of A/D converters.

💡 Hint: Think about what DNL reflects in terms of voltage translation.

Question 2

True or False: A lower DNL value in an A/D converter indicates better performance.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what a high DNL would imply about accuracy.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have an A/D converter with 4-bit output and a DNL of ±2 LSB. Calculate the effective output steps of this converter.

💡 Hint: Think about the maximum layers minus the impact of DNL.

Question 2

In a practical scenario, why might an A/D converter with excellent INL and poor DNL still produce erroneous data?

💡 Hint: Consider how both specifications can affect outcome independently.
