VCODE是計(jì)算的DAC輸出電壓值。

下面的等式用于計(jì)算任意給定編碼的DNL：

DNLCODE(LSBs) = [VCODE - VCode-1 - VLSB]/VLSB(公式4)

其中

CODE是要計(jì)算的數(shù)字編碼。

VCODE是針對(duì)CODE計(jì)算的DAC輸出電壓值。

VCODE-1是針對(duì)CODE - 1計(jì)算的DAC輸出電壓值。

VLSB是公式2中計(jì)算的電壓值。

以下舉例說明利用MATLAB腳本計(jì)算MAX5889、MAX5890和MAX5891的線性度。每次計(jì)算都得到最小和最大DNL和INL誤差編碼和誤差值。實(shí)例還為所有編碼畫出了傳輸函數(shù)，得到INL和DNL。要求用戶輸入前面表格中所列出編碼的電壓測(cè)量值。必須按照所列順序輸入數(shù)值。
