Multiplexer Addressing
The last four bits in the instruction byte (during a start conversion instruction) or the Gain/Mux register
(ADDR = 4) assign the multiplexer configuration for the requested conversion. The input channels may be
placed in either differential or single-ended configurations. For differential configurations, the polarity of the input
signal is reversible by the state of M2 (Bit D2). In single-ended mode, all input channels are measured with
respect to system ground (pin 25). Figure 23 shows some examples of multiplexer assignments and Figure 24
provides the coding for the input channel selection.

NOTE:
Bit M3 selects either differential or single-ended mode. If differential mode is selected, bit M2 determines the polarity of the input channels.
Bold items are power-up default conditions.
