5.1. Single-Ended or Differential Operation
ADC0 and ADC1 can be programmed to operate independently as single-ended ADCs, or together to
accept a differential input. In single-ended mode, the ADCs can be configured to sample simultaneously, or
to use different conversion speeds. In differential mode, ADC1 is a slave to ADC0, and its configuration is
based on ADC0 settings, except during offset or gain calibrations. The DIFFSEL bit in the Channel Select
Register AMX0SL (Figure 5.6) selects between single-ended and differential mode.
5.1.1. Pseudo-Differential Inputs
The inputs to the ADCs are pseudo-differential. The actual voltage measured by each ADC is equal to the
voltage between the AINn pin and the AINnG pin. AINnG must be a DC signal between -0.2 and 0.6 V. In
most systems, AINnG will be connected to AGND. If not tied to AGND, the AINnG signal can be used to
negate a limited amount of fixed offset, but it is recommended that the internal offset calibration features of
the device be used for this purpose. When operating in differential mode, AIN0G and AIN1G should be tied
together. AINn must remain above AINnG in both modes for accurate conversion results.
