Hi,
There is an issue about the accuracy of ADS8638. The failure percentage is 40%.
Input : DC 5V from power supply to AIN0-7 => Output value 0-7: 5.012V
Input : DC 0V from power supply to AIN0-7 => Output value 0-7: 12mV
Is this related to input offset voltage ? Is it any possible to improve this issue by software or hardward ?

Hello,
To make sure I understand correctly. You are providing the same input signal to all input channels? and the input signal is the power supply?
how is your input signal driven? what is the input source?
After making sure the hardware is all correct, we can look into software.
If the error is consistent across the device, you can do a calibration in software to take this into consideration
The following documents provides information on a two point calibration, though the focus of the documents are not calibration, it is well covered

Hello,
What sampling rate are you using, is it full throughout of 1MSPS?
Can you try decreasing the sampling rate of the device? If decreasing the sampling fixes the issue, then it is likely the devices are not having enough time to settle, this can happen with the input has a drastic change in a short amount of time. For example the input changes from 0 to 5V or 5 to 0V quickly.
