Differential Connections for Ground-Referenced
Signal Sources
Figure 4-5 shows how to connect a ground-referenced signal source to a
channel on the board configured in DIFF input mode.
Figure 4-5.
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 board ground, shown as V

in Figure 4-5.
