Gain and Offset
Analog Gain in the ADC
The only analog Gain available in the is located at the sensor level, in the ADC converter.
This “Preamp Gain” is in fact a variation of the ramp of the comparator of the ADC.
Then 3 Values are available : x1, x2 and x4. A gain x1 in a 12 bits conversion is equivalent to x4 in 10 bits.
