Figure 4-1. Single-Ended Switch Configuration

For differential operation, connect differential analog channel 0 to the
temperature sensor by switching S5 and S4 to the up position, as shown in
Figure 4-2.

Special Considerations

To connect a high-value resistor between the positive input and +5V, refer
to the

Accuracy and Resolution Considerations

section of Chapter 5,
