The end- option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with −REFIN points of the transfer function are zero scale, a point 1 LSB to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of below the first code transition, and full scale, a point 1 LSB the first code transition (100 . 000) to (100 . 001) from the above the last code transition.

Gain ErrorPower Supply Rejection (PSR) This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 . 110) to Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition, (111 . 111) from the ideal (that is, REFIN − 1 LSB) after the but not the converter’s linearity. Power supply rejection is the offset error has been adjusted out. maximum change in full-scale transition point due to a change Gain Error Match in power supply voltage from the nominal value (see the Typical This is the difference in gain error between any two channels. Performance Characteristics section). Zero Code ErrorPower Supply Rejection Ration (PSRR) This applies when using the twos complement output coding The power supply rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the option, in particular to the 2 × REF power in the ADC output at full-scale frequency (f) to the IN input range with −REFIN to +REF power of a 200 mV p-p sine wave applied to the ADC AVDD IN biased about the REFIN point. It is the deviation of the midscale transition (all 0s to all 1s) from the ideal V supply of frequency (fS): IN voltage, that is, REFIN − 1 LSB. PSRR(dB) = 10log(Pf/PfS) Zero Code Error Match where: This is the difference in zero code error between any two Pf is equal to the power at Frequency f in ADC output. channels. PfS is equal to the power at Frequency fS coupled onto the ADC AVDD. Positive Gain Error Here a 200 mV p-p sine wave is coupled onto the AVDD supply. This applies when using the twos complement output coding Figure 6 shows the power supply rejection ratio vs. supply ripple option, in particular to the 2 × REFIN input range with −REFIN frequency for the AD7927 with no decoupling. to +REFIN biased about the REFIN point.

Track-and-hold acquisition time is the time required for the output of the track-and-hold amplifier to reach Positive Gain Error Match its final value, within ±1 LSB, after the end of conversion.
