I am wondering if there is a way to shift the -10-10V input range to be 0-10V to gain more resolution from my inputs.
If not, what would be the best way to apply a voltage offset and gain to maximise this range?

Hi James4832,
As the chip has fixed input range, you'll need an external difference amplifier with gain of 2 in front of the input. Apply +5V precision reference voltage to the negative input (V1). that will shift 0..+10V to -10..+10V. You could also utilize the chip's internal 2.5V reference, in which case you'll need to attenuate the input signal to half and have x4 gain for the difference amp. In that configuration be aware that the reference branch (V1) of the amplifier dynamically loads the internal reference output, possibly degrading the performance of the ADC.
