SGL/DIF
SGL/DIF = 0: Pseudo-differential analog input mode
SGL/DIF = 1: Single-ended analog input mode
In single-ended mode, input signals are referred to COM. In differential mode, the voltage difference
between two channels is measured (Tables 2 and 4).

UNI/BIP
UNI/BIP = 0: Bipolar mode
UNI/BIP = 1: Unipolar mode
In unipolar mode, an analog input signal from 0V to V

can be converted; in bipolar mode, the
signal can range from -V

the analog inputs. This configuration is pseudo-differ-
ential in that only the signal at IN+ is sampled. The
return side (IN-) must remain stable within ±0.5 LSB
(±0.1 LSB for best performance) with respect to GND
during a conversion. To accomplish this, connect a
0.1µF capacitor from IN- (the selected input) to GND.
During the acquisition interval, the channel selected as
the positive input (IN+) charges capacitor C
HOLD
. At the
end of the acquisition interval, the T/H switch opens,
retaining charge on C
HOLD
as a sample of the signal
at IN+.
The conversion interval begins with the input multiplex-
er switching C
HOLD
from the positive input (IN+) to the
negative input (IN-). This unbalances node zero at the
comparator’s positive input. The capacitive digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) adjusts during the remainder
