PRODUCTION DATA.
The ADC incorporates a low-noise PGA in order to extend the ADC dynamic range. The PGA is a CMOS, differential-input and differential-output amplifier. The gain factor is programmable from 1 V/V to 16 V/V and is controlled by the GAIN[2:0] register bits. The PGA differentially drives the modulator via two 840-Ω internal resistors. Connect a 10-nF, C0G-dielectric capacitor between the CAPP and CAPN pins. The capacitor filters the modulator sampling glitches and also functions as a first-order antialias filter. Equation 2 gives the corner frequency of the antialias filter:
As shown in Figure 45, the PGA is composed of two amplifiers. The amplifiers are chopper-stabilized in order to reduce the PGA 1/f noise, offset, and offset drift. The PGA chop mode can be disabled when used with certain types of high-impedance sensors, such as hydrophones; see the Chop Mode section for more details.
The PGA gain factors are programmable from 1 to 16 V/V. Table 6 shows the register bit setting for the PGA gain and corresponding input voltage range.

To maintain linear operation, observe the specified PGA input and PGA output voltage range requirements. The absolute voltage is defined as the sum of the signal component plus offset voltage (common-mode voltage). Equation 3 shows the specified absolute input voltage range:
Equation 4 shows the specified absolute PGA output voltage range:
Equation 5 shows that the PGA output voltage is equal to the absolute PGA input voltage plus and minus the differential input voltage times half the PGA gain factor minus 1:
