Differential Connections for Floating Signal Sources
with Single Bias Resistor
Yo
u
can f
u
lly balance the signal path by connecting another resistor
of the same val
u
e between the positive inp
u
t and AI GND on the
USB-6210/6211/6212 device, as shown in Fig
u
re 4-18. This f
u
lly balanced
config
u
ration offers slightly better noise rejection, b
u
t has the disadvantage
of loading the so
u
rce down with the series combination (s
u
m) of the
two resistors. If, for example, the so
u
rce impedance is 2 k
Ω
and each of the
two resistors is 100 k
Ω
, the resistors load down the so
u
rce with 200 k
Ω
and
prod
u
ce a –1% gain error.
