The passage around this formula
…a clean, conditioned voltage, it has to become a digital code, and that conversion is not free either. An analog-to-digital converter maps a continuous voltage onto one of 2^N discrete codes spaced by a quantization step = /2^{N} , and that rounding itself injects noise, with power approximately /12 spread across the sampled bandwidth. The industry-standard way to describe and test this — offset error, gain error, integral and differential nonlinearity, effective number of bits — is defined by…
