AD7452Data SheetTERMINOLOGY Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio The AD7452 is tested using the CCIF standard where two input The measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the frequencies near the top end of the input bandwidth are used. output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the fun- In this case, the second-order terms are usually distanced in damental. Noise is the sum of all nonfundamental signals up to frequency from the original sine waves while the third-order half the sampling frequency (f terms are usual y at a frequency close to the input frequencies.

The ratio is dependent on the number of quantization levels in the digitiza- As a result, the second- and third-order terms are specified tion process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization noise. separately. The calculation of the intermodulation distortion is The theoretical signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio for an ideal as per the THD specification where it is the ratio of the rms N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by sum of the individual distortion products to the rms amplitude of the sum of the fundamentals expressed in dB. Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02N + 1.76) dB Aperture Delay Thus, for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB. The amount of time from the leading edge of the sampling Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) clock until the ADC actually takes the sample. Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of Aperture Jitter harmonics to the fundamental.
