Integral Nonlinearity (INL)

The Integral nonlinearity (INL) error is the maximum

deviation of an actual transfer function from an ideal

transfer function (straight line).

In the MCP47X6, INL is calculated using two end points

(zero and full scale). INL can be expressed as a per-

centage of full scale range (FSR) or in a fraction of an

LSb. INL is also called relative accuracy. Equation 7-4

shows how to calculate the INL error in LSb and

Figure 7-2 shows an example of INL accuracy.

Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)

The Differential nonlinearity (DNL) error (see Figure 7-

3) is the measure of step size between codes in 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 guarantees monotonic output and no

missing codes. The DNL error between any two

adjacent codes is calculated as follows:
