| 420 | Wed May 13 16:25:24 2015 | Stefan Ritt | transparent-mode voltage | To get the good linearity, you need indeed ROFS = 1.05V. With a O-OFS of 0.9V, a zero
 input signal would give you DRS_OUT+=1.05V
 |  | 
| 419 | Wed May 13 16:13:07 2015 | Chenfei Yang | transparent-mode voltage | If using a ROFS of 0.9V, the input would not between 1.05V~2.05V better non-linearity
 area. Is that appropriate?

 |  | 
| 413 | Wed May 13 09:45:51 2015 | Stefan Ritt | transparent-mode voltage | The ROFS signal has no effect in the transparent mode, so you have to adjust O_OFS between
 sampling and transparent mode accordingly.
