Summary

This application note describes how the TAx5x1x/TAx5x1x-Q1 family of devices can be configured as Incremental ADCs. This application note is meant to showcase how the device can be used for DC measurement applications, both single channel and multichannel. This has been demonstrated using example configurations in the different operational modes, along with observations from each configuration.
