8.3.7 Digital Gain

The device includes a programmable digital gain for both channels. The gain is programmed in registers 0x15B (CHA) and 0x15C (CHB). The 8-bit register field is 7 bit with a sign bit (2s complement).

The actual gain in dB is: 20 x log (1 + (7 bit gain / 128))

For example a register value of 0x7F corresponds to a digital gain of 6dB, 0xC0 corresponds to a digital gain of −6dB.
