SBAU431 July 2024 ADS1282
Figure 3-3 shows the front-end circuit to ADC input channel 1. Vocm supplies a DC shift to the differential inputs connected to header J3. In unipolar mode, differential-output sources with a common-mode voltage equal to ground (0V) are given a +2.5V DC shift. The DC shift raises the input signal common-mode voltage by the same amount (2.5V), and the signal at the inputs to the ADS1282 has a common-mode voltage close to mid-scale of the unipolar input range (0-5V). The mid-scale common-mode voltage makes analog input channel 1 best for bipolar differential signals centered around a 0V common-mode voltage.
