Adjacent Carrier Leakage Ratio (ACLR) |
Defined for a 3.84 Mcps 3GPP W-CDMA input signal measured in a 3.84 MHz bandwidth at a 5MHz offset from the carrier with a 12 dB peak-to-average ratio. |
Analog and Digital Power Supply Rejection Ratio (APSSR, DPSSR) |
Defined as the percentage error in the ratio of the delta IOUT and delta supply voltage normalized with respect to the ideal IOUT current. |
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) |
Defined as the variation in analog output associated with an ideal 1 LSB change in the digital input code. |
Gain Drift |
Defined as the maximum change in gain, in terms of ppm of full-scale range (FSR) per °C, from the value at ambient (25°C) to values over the full operating temperature range. |
Gain Error |
Defined as the percentage error (in FSR%) for the ratio between the measured full-scale output current and the ideal full-scale output current. |
Integral Nonlinearity (INL) |
Defined as the maximum deviation of the actual analog output from the ideal output, determined by a straight line drawn from zero scale to full scale. |
Intermodulation Distortion
(IMD3, IMD) |
The two-tone IMD3 is defined as the ratio (in dBc) of the 3rd-order intermodulation distortion product to either fundamental output tone. |
Noise Spectral Density (NSD) |
Defined as the difference of power (in dBc) between the output tone signal power and the noise floor of 1Hz bandwidth within the first Nyquist zone. |
Offset Drift |
Defined as the maximum change in DC offset, in terms of ppm of full-scale range (FSR) per °C, from the value at ambient (25°C) to values over the full operating temperature range. |
Offset Error |
Defined as the percentage error (in FSR%) for the ratio between the measured mid-scale output current and the ideal mid-scale output current. |
Output Compliance Range |
Defined as the minimum and maximum allowable voltage at the output of the current-output DAC. Exceeding this limit may result reduced reliability of the device or adversely affecting distortion performance. |
Reference Voltage Drift |
Defined as the maximum change of the reference voltage in ppm per °C from value at ambient (25°C) to values over the full operating temperature range. |
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) |
Defined as the difference (in dBc) between the peak amplitude of the output signal and the peak spurious signal. |
