OFFSET CORRECTION
The ADS412x/4x has an internal offset corretion algorithm that estimates and corrects dc offset up to ±10mV.
The correction can be enabled using the EN OFFSET CORR serial register bit. Once enabled, the algorithm
estimates the channel offset and applies the correction every clock cycle. The time constant of the correction
loop is a function of the sampling clock frequency. The time constant can be controlled using the OFFSET CORR
TIME CONSTANT register bits, as described in Table 10.

After the offset is estimated, the correction can be frozen by setting FREEZE OFFSET CORR = 1. Once frozen,
the last estimated value is used for the offset correction of every clock cycle. Note that offset correction is
disabled by a default after reset.
After a reset, the device is in low-latency mode and offset correction is disabled. To use offset correction:
• First, disable the low-latency mode (DIS LOW LATENCY = 1).
• Then set EN OFFSET CORR to '1' and program the required time constant.
Figure 111 shows the time response of the offset correction algorithm after it is enabled.
