PRODUCTION DATA
Total harmonic distortion (THD) specifies the dynamic linearity of the ADC with an ac input signal. For the THD measurement, a –0.2dBFS, 1kHz differential input signal with VCM equal to the mid-supply voltage is used. A sufficient number of data points are collected to yield an FFT result with frequency bin widths of 5Hz or less. The 5Hz bin width reduces the noise in the harmonic bins for consistent THD measurements. As shown in Equation 12, THD is calculated as the ratio of the root-sum-square amplitude of harmonics to the input signal amplitude.
