AD5541A DNL / INL versus code value

Category: Hardware
Product Number: AD5541ABCPZ

We are using the AD5541AB with a data rate of 769 kHz, VDD=2.5V, AVDD=3.3V, and external reference=2.5V. Our application is counting upward through the codes (typically from ~16000 - ~33000), with twelve samples in succession for each code. We have noticed a small spurious signal in the output at a frequency that could be caused by a cycle in DNL / INL every four code values, but within the specifications for the device. I see in the plot of typical INL versus code in the data sheet that there are obvious cycles in INL every 2048 code values. Can we expect to see patterns like that at the level of every four code values as I have described? Do you have any more detailed plots of your DNL / INL measurements?

  • Hi  ,

    "Can we expect to see patterns like that at the level of every four code values as I have described?"

    As per further checking, it's essential to clarify that the plot presented in the datasheet is based on data captured from a specific device under normal operating conditions. While this plot provides valuable insights into the device's typical behavior, it's important to note that individual devices may vary due to several factors. The performance of the device can be affected by Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) variations and therefore may influence the device's behavior. Additionally, each device may exhibit slight differences in performance due to inherent manufacturing variations.

    However, it's reasonable to expect similar results when your device is operated under the normal operating conditions indicated in the datasheet. The datasheet provides specifications, including maximum values, that you can rely on as long as your device is within these specified operating conditions in order to continuously get results that falls within your specified specs as you have mentioned.

    "Do you have any more detailed plots of your DNL / INL measurements?"

    Unfortunately, at the moment, we don't have additional specific plots or data beyond what is available in the datasheet that we can share in this forum.

    Best Regards,
