<p><big>Definition</big></p>
<p>An often used definition for ENOB is<br/>
:where<br/>
* ENOB is given in bits<br/>
* <a href="page.php?w=SINAD">SINAD</a> (signal, noise, and distortion) is a power ratio indicating the quality of the signal in dB.<br/>
* the 6.02 term in the divisor converts <a href="page.php?w=decibels">decibels</a> (a log<sub>10</sub> representation) to bits (a log<sub>2</sub> representation),<br/>
* the 1.76 term comes from quantization error in an ideal ADC.</p>

<p>This definition compares the SINAD of an ideal</p><p>
