The analog inputs and references look stable to me. No floating pins. I've made the Vin- input closer to ground: Analog input (always +ve)---> Vin+ 0V ---> Vin- 3V ---> Vref 5V ---> AVDD/DVDD ...but the same readings are still coming out. Maybe it's because I'm using a "true differential" ADC. I heard the setup's different compared to pseudo differential which I'm more accustomed to using. --- In lpc2000@yahoogroups.com, "Kerem Or" <k.or@s...> wrote: > It appears there is a common mode voltage problem.
