Differential Connections for Ground-Referenced
Signal Sources
Figure 2-7 shows how to connect a ground-referenced signal source
to an AT-MIO-16X board configured in the DIFF input mode. The
AT-MIO-16X analog input circuitry must be configured for DIFF input
to make these types of connections. Configuration instructions are
included in Chapter 4, Register Map and Descriptions.
Figure 2-7.
Differential Input Connections for Ground-Referenced Signals
With this type of connection, the PGIA rejects both the common-mode
noise in the signal and the ground potential difference between the
signal source and the AT-MIO-16X ground, shown as V

in
Figure 2-7.
