Note
Highpass filters generally exhibit poorer common-mode rejection characteristics
than lowpass filters because capacitors are in the series input paths. Capacitors have poorer
tolerances than resistors, and matching the input impedances is crucial for good
common-mode rejection.
Figure 3-7 shows both the schematic and the component placement for a
50 kHz highpass filter placed on differential input channel 1. If the input
signal source is floating, you must place a bias return resistor in positions
A and/or B position (R28 and R27, respectively). Refer to the
section for information about installing bias resistors.

Figure 3-8 shows both the schematic and the component placement for a
50 kHz highpass filter placed on single-ended input channel 1. Refer to the
section for information about installing bias
resistors.
