Glossary Term: Gain Error
Definition
The gain error of a data converter indicates how well the slope of an actual transfer function matches the slope of the ideal transfer function.
Gain error is usually expressed in LSB or as a percent of full-scale range. Gain error can be calibrated out with hardware or in software. Gain error is the full-scale error minus the offset error.
