Understanding how to connect the ground path can be critical
to preserving the integrity of your output signal. If you are using
a single-ended output, it will probably be safe to connect the
circuit ground to case ground. However, in applications
requiring floated ground connection, it is imperative that the
amplifier ground be made floating as well. In this case, refer to
Chapter 2 and Figure 2-1 for instructions how to float the circuit
ground.
Input and output grounds are tied together. Do
not connect the output ground to a level
different from input ground. Failure to adhere
to this limitation may damage the 5601 and the
surrounding equipment connected to its I/O
connectors.
Normal amplifier operation is recommended
with circuit ground connected to case ground
(float disabled), thus minimizing susceptibility
to system noise. Enable the float configuration
only when the application requires it.
