Alternatively, NBV can be tied to AGND where
the input (Common Mode + Signal) on AIN+ and
AIN- pins can span the entire range between
AGND and VA+.

Figure 7 illustrates a block diagram of the analog in-
put signal path inside the CS5525/26. The front end
consists of a chopper-stabilized instrumentation am-
plifier with 20X gain and a programmable gain sec-
tion. The instrumentation amplifier is powered from
VA+ and from the NBV (Negative Bias Voltage) pin

two analog input configurations. The NBV pin can
