PRODUCTION DATA.
The device features a low-noise, low-drift, high input impedance, programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The PGA can be set to gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128. Three bits (GAIN[2:0]) in the configuration register are used to configure the gain. A simplified diagram of the PGA is shown in Figure 39. The PGA consists of two chopper-stabilized amplifiers (A1 and A2) and a resistor feedback network that sets the PGA gain. The PGA input is equipped with an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter.
Figure 39. Simplified PGA Diagram VIN denotes the differential input voltage VIN = (V(AINP) – V(AINN)). The gain of the PGA can be calculated with Equation 5:
Gain is changed inside the device using a variable resistor, RG. The differential full-scale input voltage range (FSR) of the PGA is defined by the gain setting and the reference voltage used, as shown in Equation 6:
Table 5 shows the corresponding full-scale ranges when using the internal 2.048-V reference.

|---|---|
| 1 | ±2.048 V |
| 2 | ±1.024 V |
| 4 | ±0.512 V |
| 8 | ±0.256 V |
| 16 | ±0.128 V |
| 32 | ±0.064 V |
| 64 | ±0.032 V |
| 128 | ±0.016 V |
