This specification is Offset Error the worst case across all 16 channels for the AD7490. This is the deviation of the first code transition (00 … 000) to PSR (Power Supply Rejection) (00 … 001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 1 LSB. Variations in power supply affect the full scale transition, but Offset Error Match not the converter linearity. Power supply rejection is the This is the difference in offset error between any two channels. maximum change in the full-scale transition point due to a change in power supply voltage from the nominal value.

This is the deviation of the last code transition (111 … 110) to (111 … 111) from the ideal (that is, REF Track-and-Hold Acquisition Time IN − 1 LSB) after the offset error has been adjusted out.
