Differential Sampling
In addition to traditional single-ended sampling, the ADC module supports differential sampling of
two analog input channels. To enable differential sampling, software must set the Dn bit in the
ADCSSCTL0n register in a step's configuration nibble.
When a sequence step is configured for differential sampling, the input pair to sample must be
configured in the ADCSSMUXn register. Differential pair 0 samples analog inputs 0 and 1; differential
pair 1 samples analog inputs 2 and 3; and so on (see Table 12-4 on page 615). The ADC does not
support other differential pairings such as analog input 0 with analog input 3.

The voltage sampled in differential mode is the difference between the odd and even channels:
∆V (differential voltage) = V_{IN_EVEN} (even channel) – V_{IN_ODD} (odd channel), therefore:
■ If ∆V = 0, then the conversion result = 0x1FF
