Data Sheet
TRANSFER FUNCTIONS
With the inputs configured for unipolar range (single-ended,
COM with ground sense, or paired differentially with INx− as
ground sense), the data output is straight binary.
With the inputs configured for bipolar range (COM = VREF/2 or
paired differentially with INx− = VREF/2), the data outputs are
twos complement.
The ideal transfer characteristic for the AD7949 is shown in
Figure 24 and for both unipolar and bipolar ranges with the
internal 4.096 V reference.

1 With COM or INx− = 0 V or all INx referenced to GND.
2 With COM or INx− = VREF /2.
3 This is also the code for an overranged analog input ((INx+) − (INx−), or COM, above VREF − GND).
4 This is also the code for an underranged analog input ((INx+) − (INx−), or COM, below GND).
