ADS1274/78 are intended to be driven differentially.
For single-ended applications, one of the inputs
(AINP or AINN) can be driven while the other input is
fixed (typically to AGND or +2.5V). Fixing the input to
2.5V permits bipolar operation, thereby allowing full
use of the entire converter range.
While the ADS1274/78 measures the differential input
signal, the absolute input voltage is also important.
This value is the voltage on either input (AINP or
AINN) with respect to AGND. The range for this
voltage is:
