(3) Quantization error
When analog values are converted to digital values, a ±1/2LSB error naturally occurs. In an A/D converter,
an analog input voltage in a range of ±1/2LSB is converted to the same digital code, so a quantization error
cannot be avoided.
Note that the quantization error is not included in the overall error, zero-scale error, full-scale error, integral
linearity error, and differential linearity error in the characteristics table.

(4) Zero-scale error
This shows the difference between the actual measurement value of the analog input voltage and the
theoretical value (1/2 LSB) when the digital output changes from 0……000 to 0……001.
