Common-Mode Shield Driver CCGROUNDING0.1 μ F1 μ 0 F Since the AD620 output voltage is developed with respect to the –15V potential on the reference terminal, it can solve many 00775-0-045 grounding problems by simply tying the REF pin to the Figure 42. Circuit to Attenuate RF Interference appropriate “local ground.” COMMON-MODE REJECTION To isolate low level analog signals from a noisy digital Instrumentation amplifiers, such as the AD620, offer high environment, many data-acquisition components have separate CMR, which is a measure of the change in output voltage when analog and digital ground pins (Figure 45). It would be both inputs are changed by equal amounts. These specifications convenient to use a single ground line; however, current are usually given for a full-range input voltage change and a through ground wires and PC runs of the circuit card can cause specified source imbalance. hundreds of millivolts of error. Therefore, separate ground For optimal CMR, the reference terminal should be tied to a returns should be provided to minimize the current flow from low impedance point, and differences in capacitance and the sensitive points to the system ground. These ground returns resistance should be kept to a minimum between the two must be tied together at some point, usually best at the ADC inputs. In many applications, shielded cables are used to package shown in Figure 45. minimize noise; for best CMR over frequency, the shield should be properly driven. Figure 43 and Figure 44 show active ANALOG P.S.DIGITAL P.S. data guards that are configured to improve ac common-mode +15V C –15VC +5V rejections by “bootstrapping” the capacitances of input cable shields, thus minimizing the capacitance mismatch between the 0.1 μ F0.1 μ F1 μ F 1 μ F1 μ F inputs. +AD620DIGITALAD585AD574ADATAS/HADCOUTPUT 048 0- 00775- Figure 45.
