9.1.1 Front I/O - ADC Analog Input Level
All analog inputs are connected via an impedance converter and a second operation amplifier for level
adjustment and filtering to the differential ADC inputs. This also serves as a protection of the ADC from
excessive analog input levels.

The TPCE636 has differential analog inputs. When talking about the input voltage range of a differential
input, one has to differentiate between the differential input voltage between the two pins, and the input
voltage relative to ground for each pin.
With an input voltage range of ±10V (ground related) for each pin of the differential input, we get the ±20V
differential input voltages:

Table 9-1 : Differential Input Voltage Ranges
The range of this differential input is -20V to +20V, which results to a full scale range of 40V for the ±10V
(per pin, relative to ground) Input voltage range.
