Adjusting the Offset Calibration Register
The offset calibration register contains 16 bits, two leading zeros
and 14 data bits. By changing the contents of the offset register,
different amounts of offset on the analog input signal can be
compensated for. Increasing the number in the offset calibra-
tion register compensates for negative offset on the analog input
signal, and decreasing the number in the offset calibration regis-
ter compensates for positive offset on the analog input signal.
The default value of the offset calibration register is 0010 0000
0000 0000 approximately. This is not an exact value, but the
value in the offset register should be close to this value. Each of
the 14 data bits in the offset register is binary weighted; the
MSB has a weighting of 5% of the reference voltage, the MSB-1
has a weighting of 2.5%, the MSB-2 has a weighting of 1.25%,
and so on down to the LSB, which has a weighting of 0.0006%.

This method of compensating for offset in the analog input
signal allows for fine tuning the offset compensation. If the
offset on the analog input signal is known, there will be no need
to apply the offset voltage to the analog input pins and do a
system calibration. The offset compensation can take place in
software.
Adjusting the Gain Calibration Register
The gain calibration register contains 16 bits, two leading 0s
and 14 data bits. The data bits are binary weighted as in the
offset calibration register. The gain register value is effectively
multiplied by the analog input to scale the conversion result
over the full range. Increasing the gain register compensates for
a smaller analog input range and decreasing the gain register
compensates for a larger input range. The maximum analog
input range that the gain register can compensate for is 1.025
times the reference voltage, and the minimum input range is
0.975 times the reference voltage.
