INPUT DATA FORMAT
The USB/BTC pin defines the input data format and the Offset DAC format. When this pin is connected to
DGND, the Input DAC data and Offset DAC data are straight binary, as shown in Table 1 and Table 3. When this
pin is connected to IOV_DD, the Input DAC data and Offset DAC data are in twos complement format, as shown in
Table 2 and Table 4.

The data written to the Gain Register are always in straight binary, data to the Zero Register are in twos
complement, and data to all other control registers are as specified in the definitions, regardless of the USB/BTC
pin status.
In reading operation, the read-back data are in the same format as written.
