Effective Number of Bits Calculator Tutorial

Abstract: The Effective Number of Bits Calculator (ENOB) aids in the design and analysis of data converter application circuits. It calculates ENOB, SINAD, resolution, signal bandwidth, oversample rates, DNL, clock jitter, analog noise, and THD. The calculator can be used with a HP® 50g calculator or a free PC emulator.
