In differential mode, the following two requirements must be met for linear operation: ! Any analog input m ust remain in the − 10V to +20V range with respect to ground at all times. ! The maximum differential voltage on an y given analog input pair must remain within the selected voltage range. The input [ common - mode volt age + si gnal ] of t[...]

Since the analog inputs are restricted to a − 10 V to +20 V signal swing with respect to ground, all ranges except ±20V can realize a linear output for any differenti al signal wi th zero com mon mode voltage a nd full scal e signal inputs. The ±20 V range is the exception. You canno t put − 20 V on C HHI and 0 V on CHLO since thi s violates [...]
