12.1.1 Definitions of Specifications and Terminology
ACPR or adjacent channel power ratio is defined for a 3.84-Mcps 3GPP W-CDMA input signal measured in a 3.84-MHz bandwidth at a 5-MHz offset from the carrier with a 12-dB peak-to-average ratio.
APSSRor analog power supply ratio is the percentage variation of full-scale output current versus a 5% variation of the analog power supply AVDD from the nominal. This is a dc measurement.
DPSSRor digital power supply ratio is the percentage variation of full-scale output current versus a 5% variation of the digital power supply DVDD from the nominal. This is a dc measurement.
Gain error is as the percentage error in the ratio between the measured full-scale output current and the value of 16 × V(EXTIO)/RBIAS. A V(EXTIO) of 1.25 V is used to measure the gain error with an external reference voltage applied. With an internal reference, this error includes the deviation of V(EXTIO) (internal bandgap reference voltage) from the typical value of 1.25 V.
Offset error is as the percentage error in the ratio of the differential output current (IOUT1-IOUT2) and half of the full-scale output current for input code 8192.
SINADis the ratio of the RMS value of the fundamental output signal to the RMS sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including noise and harmonics, but excluding dc.
SNRis the ratio of the RMS value of the fundamental output signal to the RMS sum of all other spectral components below the Nyquist frequency, including noise, but excluding the first six harmonics and dc.
THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the first six harmonic components to the RMS value of the fundamental output signal.
