Take a look at these two ADCs. Which one do you think is better suited for audio ADC ?
What I am trying to understand is that even though the DNL/INL of the 18bit ADC is much worse than the 16bit ADC, why is the SNR, SINAD and SFDR better by atleast 3db than the 16bit ADC and the THD still the same as the 16bit ? How is that possible ? What am I missing about interpreting or understand ADC specs ?!
I notice that they have conveniently 'forgotten' to give ENOBs for the 18bit dac.
