Intel 87C196CB Code width, Crosstalk, DC input leakage, Deassert, Differential nonlinearity

	GLOSSARY
code width	The voltage change corresponding to the difference
	between two adjacent code transitions. Code width
	deviations cause differential nonlinearity and nonlin-
	earity errors.
crosstalk	See off-isolation.
DC input leakage	Leakage current from an analog input pin to ground.
deassert	The act of making a signal inactive (disabled). The
	polarity (high or low) is defined by the signal name.
	Active-low signals are designated by a pound symbol
	(#) suffix; active-high signals have no suffix. To
	deassert RD# is to drive it high; to deassert ALE is to
	drive it low.
differential nonlinearity	The difference between the actual code width and the
	ideal one-LSB code width of the terminal-based
	characteristic of an A/D converter. It provides a
	measure of how much the input voltage may have
	changed in order to produce a one-count change in the
	conversion result. Differential nonlinearity is a
	measure of local code-width error; nonlinearity is a
	measure of overall code-transition error.
doping	The process of introducing a periodic table Group III
	or Group V element into a Group IV element (e.g.,
	silicon). A Group III impurity (e.g., indium or
	gallium) results in a p-typematerial. A Group V
	impurity (e.g., arsenic or antimony) results in an n-
	type material.
double-word	Any 32-bit unit of data.
DOUBLE-WORD	An unsigned, 32-bit variable with values from 0
	through 232–1.
EPA	Event processor array. An integrated peripheral that
	provides high-speed input/output capability.
EPROM	Erasable, programmable read-only-memory.
ESD	Electrostatic discharge.
feedthrough	The attenuation from an input voltage on the selected
	channel to the A/D output after the sample window
	closes. The ability of the A/D converter to reject an
	input on its selected channel after the sample window
	closes.
