4.1
The resolution is the number of DAC output states that
divide the full scale range. For the 12-bit DAC, the
resolution is 2
4095.
4.2
The least significant bit or the ideal voltage difference
between two successive codes.

INL error is the maximum deviation between an actual
code transition point and its corresponding ideal
transition point (straight line).
curve of the MCP4725. The end-point method is used
for the calculation. The INL error at a given input DAC
code is calculated as:

Differential nonlinearity error
measure of step size between codes in actual transfer
function. The ideal step size between codes is 1 LSB.
A DNL error of zero would imply that every code is
exactly 1 LSB wide. If the DNL error is less than 1 LSB,
the DAC guarantees monotonic output and no missing
codes. The DNL error between any two adjacent codes
is calculated as follows:
