XE8801A – SX8801R
16.5 Input Multiplexers
The ZoomingADC™ has eight analog inputs AC_A(0) to AC_A(7) and four reference inputs AC_R(0) to AC_R(3).
Let us first define the differential input voltage VIN and reference voltage VREF respectively as:
VIN = VINP −VINN
(V)
(Eq. 3)
and:
VREF = VREFP − VREFN
(V)
(Eq. 4)
As shown in Table 16-11 the inputs can be configured in two ways: either as 4 differential channels (VIN1 = AC_A(1)
- AC_A(0),..., VIN4 = AC_A(7) - AC_A(6)), or AC_A(0) can be used as a common reference, providing 7 signal
paths all referred to AC_A(0). The control word for the analog input selection is AMUX[4:0]. Notice that the bit
AMUX[3] controls the sign of the input voltage.

Table 16-11. Analog input selection
Similarly, the reference voltage is chosen among two differential channels (VREF1 = AC_R(1)-AC_R(0) or VREF2 =
AC_R(3)-AC_R(2)) as shown in Table 16-12. The selection bit is VMUX. The reference inputs VREFP and VREFN
(common-mode) can be up to the power supply range.
