			Table 3. Calibrated accuracy specifications
	Range	Gain Error		Offset Error	DLE (Note 1)	ILE (Note 1)
	±10.00 V	±3 max		±1.5 max	-1.0, +1.75 max	±2.0 max
	±5.000 V	±3 max		±1.5 max	-1.0, +1.75 max	±2.0 max
	±2.500 V	±3 max		±1.5 max	-1.0, +1.75 max	±2.0 max

Note 1: These are the intrinsic specifications of the ADC. Software calibration may introduce a small additional amount of linearity error.

As shown in Table 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.

Table 4. Channel to channel crosstalk specifications

Condition	Crosstalk	Per channel Rate	ADC Rate
±10.00 V	5LSB pk-pk	50 kHz	100 kHz
±5.000 V	6LSB pk-pk	50 kHz	100 kHz
±2.500 V	7LSB pk-pk	50 kHz	100 kHz
±1.250 V	10LSB pk-pk	50 kHz	100 kHz

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.

Table 5. Noise performance specifications

Range	% within ±2 LSBs	% within ±1 LSB	Typical LSBrms*	Max LSBrms*
All ranges	78%	47%	1.8	4.7

* RMS noise is defined as the peak-to-peak bin spread divided by 6.6.
