DATA
fb, any active device with nonlinearities will create distortion
products at sum and difference frequencies of mfa ± nfb where
m, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Intermodulation terms are those for
which neither m nor n are equal to zero. For final testing, the
second order terms include (fa + fb) and (fa – fb), while the
third order terms include (2fa + fb), (2fa – fb), (fa + 2fb) and
(fa – 2fb).
Power Supply Rejection
Power supply rejection measures the susceptibility of a device
to noise on the power supply. Power supply rejection is mea-
sured by modulating the power supply with a sine wave and
measuring the noise at the output (relative to 0 dB).

Absolute Gain
Absolute gain is a measure of converter gain for a known signal.
Absolute gain is measured (differentially) with a 1 kHz sine
wave at 0 dBm0 for the DAC and with a 1 kHz sine wave at
0 dBm0 for the ADC. T he absolute gain specification is used
for gain tracking error specification.
C rosstalk
Crosstalk is due to coupling of signals from a given channel
to an adjacent channel. It is defined as the ratio of the
amplitude of the coupled signal to the amplitude of the input
signal. Crosstalk is expressed in dB.
Gain T racking E rror
Gain tracking error measures changes in converter output for
different signal levels relative to an absolute signal level. T he
absolute signal level is 0 dBm0 (equal to absolute gain) at 1
kHz for the DAC and 0 dBm0 (equal to absolute gain) at 1
kHz for the ADC. Gain tracking error at 0 dBm0 (ADC) and 0
dBm0 (DAC) is 0 dB by definition.
Group Delay
Group Delay is defined as the derivative of radian phase with
respect to radian frequency, d(f)/df. Group delay is a measure
of average delay of a system as a function of frequency. A linear
system with a constant group delay has a linear phase response.
T he deviation of group delay from a constant indicates the
degree of nonlinear phase response of the system.
Idle C hannel Noise
Idle channel noise is defined as the total signal energy mea-
sured at the output of the device when the input is grounded
(measured in the frequency range 300 Hz–3400 Hz).
Intermodulation Distortion
With inputs consisting of sine waves at two frequencies, fa and
Sample Rate
T he sample rate is the rate at which the ADC updates its
output register and the DAC updates its output from its input
register. It is fixed relative to the DMCLK (= DMCLK /256)
and therefore may only be changed by changing the DMCLK .
SNR+T HD
Signal-to-noise ratio plus harmonic distortion is defined to be
the ratio of the rms value of the measured input signal to the
rms sum of all other spectral components in the frequency
range 300 Hz–3400 Hz, including harmonics but excluding dc.
