A common situation, yet undesirable condition, is to have the input signal of an A/D converter (such as one of Burr- Brown’s delta-sigma converters) overdrive the input stage. A possible question that arises in this situation is “What will the output digital code become if the analog input is overdriven?” The differential analog input range of the ADS1210, ADS1211, ADS1212 and ADS1213 analog-todigital converters, shown in Figure 1, can be configured to operate in a unipolar or bipolar mode. In the unipolar mode, the input range is generally 5Vp-p. For bipolar operation the input range is generally 10Vp-p.
