Abstract

Provides common terminology and test methods for the testing and evaluation of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). It covers only those ADCs whose output values have discrete values at discrete times, i.e., they are quantized and sampled. In general, this quantization is assumed to be nominally uniform.
