A full scale 5 Vpp differential signal centered on a
-0.15 V common mode can have:
The clock signal is used by the chopper-
stabilization circuitry of the amplifier analog in-
puts. The CLK pin can be driven by an external
clock source for synchronous operation, or CLK
can be grounded to run from its own internally gen-
erated clock signal. The CLK pin is connected to a
clock detect circuit which will disable the internal
clock and use an external clock if one is supplied.
If the internal clock signal is to be used, the CLK
pin should be connected to GND.
SIG+ = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = 1.1 V
SIG- = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG+ is +2.5 V relative to SIG-
For the reverse case:
SIG+ = -0.15 V - 1.25 V = -1.4 V
SIG- = -0.15 V + 1.25 V = 1.1 V
SIG+ is -2.5 V relative to SIG-
The total swing for SIG+ relative to SIG- is

Gain Selection
The CS3301A supports gain ranges of x1, x2, x4,
x8, x16, x32, and x64. They are selected using the
GAIN0, GAIN1, and GAIN2 pins as shown in
Table 1 on page 7.
(+2.5 V) - (-2.5 V) = 5 V . A similar calculation

can be done for SIG- relative to SIG+. Note that a
5 V differential signal centered on a -0.15 V
pp
common mode voltage never exceeds 1.1 V and
never drops below -1.4 V on either half of the sig-
nal.

Mux Selection
The analog inputs to the amplifier are multiplexed,
with external signals applied to the INA+, INA- or
INB+, INB- pins. An internal termination is also
available for noise tests. Input mux selection is
By definition, differential voltages are to be mea-
sured with respect to the opposite half, not relative
