Autoranging is useful to extend the measurement range of an available ADC (analog-to-digital converter). Autoranging will best implemented for multiplexed input. LTC1257 is appropriate for system autoranging, adjusting an ADC’s full-scale range. During the conversion process, U2 and U3 receive the full and zero scale codes, respectively, that correspond to a [...]
