ADC quantization noise is a noise source caused by rounding the photo signal to the nearest least significant bit (LSB) when digitizing the signal. Ensure the quantization noise level is less than the photo noise level to maximize SNR. This can be done by increasing the gain in the photo input amplifier or photo gain stage. ADC quantization noise is calculated in Equation 16.
