Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (t
AD
) is the time defined between the
falling edge of the sampling clock and the instant when
an actual sample is taken (Figure 10).
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital
samples, the theoretical maximum SNR is the ratio of
the full-scale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS
quantization error (residual error). The ideal, theoretical,
minimum analog-to-digital noise is caused by quantiza-
tion error only and results directly from the ADCs reso-
lution (N-Bits):
SNR
(MAX)
= (6.02

N + 1.76)dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quanti-
zation noise e.g., thermal noise, reference noise, clock
jitter, etc. SNR is computed by taking the ratio of the
RMS signal to the RMS noise, which includes all spec-
tral components minus the fundamental, the first four
harmonics, and the DC offset.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion (SINAD)
SINAD is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS sig-
nal to all spectral components minus the fundamental
and the DC offset.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB specifies the dynamic performance of an ADC at
a specific input frequency and sampling rate. An ideal
ADCs error consists of quantization noise only. ENOB is
computed from:
