These are the intrinsic specifications of the ADC. Software calibration may introduce a small
Note 1:
additional amount of linearity error.
As shown in Tab
le 3
, total board error is a combination of gain, offset, differential linearity and integral
linearity error. The theoretical worst-case error of the board may be calculated by summing these component
errors. Worst case errors are realized only in the unlikely event that each of the component errors are at their
maximum level, and causing error in the same direction.

Crosstalk
Crosstalk is defined here as the influence of one channel upon another when scanning two channels at the
maximum rate. A full scale 100 Hz triangle wave is input on channel 1; channel 0 is tied to analog ground at the
connector. The table below summarizes the influence of channel 1 on channel 0 with the effects of noise
removed. The residue on channel zero is described in LSB's.

Noise performance
Table 5
summarizes the noise performance for the PC-CARD-DAS16/16AO. Noise distribution is determined
by gathering 50K samples at 200 kHz with inputs tied to ground at the user connector.
