P1 = R1 = P1/P2 = R1/R2 =
P2 = R2 = ±4%
P1 = R1 = P1/P2 = R1/R2 =
P2 = R2 = ±4%
P1 = R1 = P1/P2 = R1/R2 =
P2 = R2 = ±7%
P1 = R1 = P1/P2 = R1/R2 =
P2 = R2 = ±39%
3. Linearity Error (%) = [(R1/R2) / (P1/P2) - 1] * 100
4. Accumulated error is the sum of the current dB segment linearity error plus the previous accumulated error.
