基于MAX5891的差分输出的测量方法简介

VCODE是计算的DAC输出电压值。

下面的等式用于计算任意给定编码的DNL：

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

其中

CODE是要计算的数字编码。

VCODE是针对CODE计算的DAC输出电压值。

VCODE-1是针对CODE - 1计算的DAC输出电压值。

VLSB是公式2中计算的电压值。

以下举例说明利用MATLAB脚本计算MAX5889、MAX5890和MAX5891的线性度。每次计算都得到最小和最大DNL和INL误差编码和误差值。实例还为所有编码画出了传输函数，得到INL和DNL。要求用户输入前面表格中所列出编码的电压测量值。必须按照所列顺序输入数值。
