The chop mode modulates the PGA offset and 1/f noise to a frequency outside the ADC pass band where the offset and 1/f noise residue is removed by the digital filter. Small transient currents occur on the PGA inputs because of the stray capacitance associated with the internal chop switches. Although the average value of the transient currents results in high input impedance (> 20 GΩ), in some cases, the transient currents can interact with high-impedance sensors leading to degraded performance. For these applications, disable the chop mode. For common types of geophone sensors, chop mode is recommended. Chop mode is enabled by the CHOP bit of the CONFIG1 register (default is chop enabled).
