Adjusting the Offset Calibration Register
The offset calibration register contains 16 bits. The two MSBs
are zero and the 14 LSBs contain offset data. By changing the
contents of the offset register, different amounts of offset on the
analog input signal can be compensated for. Decreasing the
number in the offset calibration register compensates for nega-
tive offset on the analog input signal, and increasing the number
in the offset calibration register compensates for positive offset
on the analog input signal. The default value of the offset cali-
bration register is 0010 0000 0000 0000 approximately. This is
not the exact value, but the value in the offset register should be
close to this value. Each of the 14 data bits in the offset register
is binary weighted; the MSB has a weighting of 5% of the refer-

This method of compensating for offset in the analog input sig-
nal allows for fine tuning the offset compensation. If the offset
on the analog input signal is known, there is no need to apply
the offset voltage to the analog input pins and do a system cali-
bration. The offset compensation can take place in software.
Adjusting the Gain Calibration Register
The gain calibration register contains 16 bits. The two MSBs
are zero and the 14 LSBs contain gain data. As in the offset cali-
brating register the data bits in the gain calibration register are
binary weighted, with the MSB having a weighting of 2.5% of
the reference voltage. The gain register value is effectively multi-
plied by the analog input to scale the conversion result over the
full range. Increasing the gain register compensates for a
smaller analog input range and decreasing the gain register com-
pensates for a larger input range. The maximum analog input
range that the gain register can compensate for is 1.025 times
the reference voltage, and the minimum input range is 0.975
times the reference voltage.
