If a floating signal source is connected to the differential input channel, the signal
source might exceed the common-mode signal range of the PGIA, and the PGIA will
be saturated with erroneous voltage-readings. You must therefore reference the sig-
nal source against the AGND.
Figure 3.8 shows a differential channel connection between a floating signal source
and an input channel on the MIC-1810. In this figure, each side of the floating signal
source is connected through a resistor to the AGND. This connection can reject the
common-mode voltage between the signal source and the MIC-1810 ground.
