The AFE11612-SEP device contains 16 analog inputs, 12 of which are single-ended (ADC4 through ADC15) and have an input range of 0V to 5V. The other four inputs (ADC0 through ADC3) can be configured as four single-ended inputs for two fully differential channels, depending on the setup of the ADC channel registers. These signal pins are connected to J13. Table 3-5 lists the pin definitions.
