BIT NAME DESCRIPTION
7, 6 PD1, PD0 These two bits select the clock and power-down modes (Table 4).
5 ACQMOD 0 = internally controlled acquisition (6 clock cycles), 1 = externally controlled acquisition
4 RNG Selects the full-scale voltage magnitude at the input (Table 3).
3 BIP Selects unipolar or bipolar conversion mode (Table 3).
2, 1, 0 A2, A1, A0 These are address bits for the input mux to select the “on” channel (Table 5).
