ET=Total Unadjusted Error: maximum deviation
between the actual and the ideal transfer curves.
EO=Offset Error: deviation between the first actual
transition and the first ideal one.
EG=Gain Error: deviation between the last ideal
transition and the last actual one.
ED=Differential Linearity Error: maximum deviation
between actual steps and the ideal one.
EL=Integral Linearity Error: maximum deviation
between any actual transition and the end point
correlation line.

Notes:
1) Not tested in production, guaranteed by characterization.
2) ADC Accuracy vs. Negative Injection Current:
Injecting negative current on any of the analog input pins significantly reduces the accuracy of the conversion being per-
formed on another analog input.
For IINJ-=0.8mA, the typical leakage induced inside the die is 1.6µA and the effect on the ADC accuracy is a loss of 4 LSB
for each 10KΩ increase of the external analog source impedance. It is recommended to add a Schottky diode (pin to
ground) to analog pins which may potentially inject negative current. Any positive injection current within the limits spec-
ified for IINJ(PIN) and ΣIINJ(PIN) in Section 12.8 does not affect the ADC accuracy.
