Full-Scale Adjust Circuit resistors, and the VAX/BX pin drives the input to the multiplexer and track/hold amplifier circuitry directly. The analog input Gain error can be adjusted at either the first code transition range is 0 V to +2.5 V into a high impedance stage with an (ADC negative full scale) or the last code transition (ADC input current of less than 500 nA. This input is benign with no positive full scale). The trim procedures for both cases are as dynamic charging currents.
