Oh sure... Makes sense and I forgot that the property is not new...

If you have a single ended input then only one pin (the positive one) will be
used. If the input signal is differential, then both pins will be used. So they
are mutually exclusive... You either have single ended or a differential input. 
And depending on the input type, the limit of the input frequency varies.
