When I read the datasheet, I see that AIN_P and AIN_GND pins are designated for positive input. I want to provide a negative input in bipolar mode. How should I make the connections?

Hi TCE IK,
Welcome to our e2e forum! Please review Figure 7-2 on page 23 of the ADS8665 datasheet. AIN_GND should tie to 'ground' (0V) while AIN_P can swing bi-polar up to +/-12.288V.
Hi TCE IK,
Let's take a step back. I mentioned initially for you to have a look at figure 7-2 on page 32. Depicted there is an AC source where the +/-12V input varies positive and negative about 0V, which is where the AIN_GND and system ground is connected. If you are trying to measure a DC power source, you cannot measure both positive and negative voltage at the same time. You will need to keep 0V connected to AIN_GND (ADC/System ground) and switch AINP between the positive and negative outputs of the power supply.
