Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)

ENOB defines the measured performance of an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) with reference to the input frequency. As the input frequency increases, the overall noise also increases, reducing both the ENOB and the SINAD.

The relationship between ENOB and SINAD is expressed as follows (see equation below).

Signal to Noise And Distortion Ratio (SINAD)

SINAD is the ratio of the RMS (Root Mean Square) signal frequency input to the ADC to the RMS value of the (noise + harmonic) content. It is expressed in dB (decibels).

SINAD = 20 * log10 ( SIGNALrms / (NOISE + HARMONICS)rms )

SINAD vs ENOB Equation

The following equation or formula is used to convert from SINAD to ENOB and vice versa.
