As you might know, both ENOB (&ldquo;Effective Number of Bits&rdquo;) and effective resolution are parameters that relate to an ADC&rsquo;s resolution. Understanding how they differ, and deciding ...en-USTelligent Community 13https://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/archives/b/precisionhub/posts/a-bone-of-contention-enob-or-effective-resolutionWed, 15 Aug 2018 20:07:05 GMTcb01d8b2-d089-468d-babb-77d1d8683490:f7de65e2-4c2a-403d-8a91-db36d21f6e15Jay Abel0<p>In SBAS607B, Revised September 2016, the datasheet for the ADS127L01 gives a formula for ENOB that is flatly wrong, overstating ENOB by 1.79 bits. &nbsp;The definition given in the article above as equation (6) is correct, and agrees with the IEEE standard definition. &nbsp;The definition given in the data sheet seems to have dropped from the sky, a gift from the technical marketing department to the sales force. &nbsp;Calling a a daisy a rose doesn&#39;t make it one.</p> <p> What really puzzles me is that the specifications for the ADS127L01 are very good all by themselves, and the substitution of &quot;Effective Resolution&quot; as defined above but calling it ENOB is at best confusing and misleading at worst.</p> <img src="https://e2e.ti.com/aggbug?PostID=666185&AppID=930&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/archives/b/precisionhub/posts/a-bone-of-contention-enob-or-effective-resolutionMon, 30 Jun 2014 19:58:02 GMTcb01d8b2-d089-468d-babb-77d1d8683490:f7de65e2-4c2a-403d-8a91-db36d21f6e15Ahmet Cetin0<p>Hello I watch the webinar on EDN , Thank you for your post.</p> <img src="https://e2e.ti.com/aggbug?PostID=666185&AppID=930&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
