Define accuracy of converter.

1 Answer

Answer :

Absolute accuracy: It is the maximum deviation between the actual converter output & the ideal converter output. 

Relative accuracy: It is the maximum deviation after gain & offset errors have been removed. The accuracy of a converter is also specified in form of LSB increments or % of full scale voltage.
