Figure 6. Differential voltage example: common mode voltage of 11 V

If you decrease the common-mode voltage to -7 V, the differential stays at ±8 V. However, the solution now violates the input range condition of -10 V to +20 V. The voltage on each analog input now swings from -3 V to -11 V. Voltages between -10 V and -3 V are resolved, but those below -10 V are clipped (see Figure 7).

Figure 7. Differential voltage example: common mode voltage of -7 V

Since the analog inputs are restricted to a −10 V to +20 V signal swing with respect to ground, all ranges except ±20V can realize a linear output for any differential signal with zero common mode voltage and full scale signal inputs. The ±20 V range is the exception. You cannot put −20 V on CHHI and 0 V on CHLO since this violates the input range criteria.

The table below shows some possible inputs and the expected results.
