Characteristics of NEF used as a linear ADC.

Conversion rate	$\frac{1}{τ_{P S C} \cdot π}$
Max. input frequency	$\frac{1}{2 \cdot τ_{P S C} \cdot π}$
Empirical ENOB formula	$E N O B (B i t) = ld (τ_{P S C} \cdot \sqrt[1.5]{N_{n e u r o n}} \cdot f_{n e u r o n, m a x} \cdot \frac{1}{T_{r e g, P u l s e}} \cdot T_{n o r m})$
Conversion latency	τ_PSC
Settling time to a step response	T_set = τ_PSC · ENOB · ln2
Dynamic range	rail-rail
