John said:If you're referring to capacitive imbalances turning common-mode stuff
into differential, that's a different issue.
No different in effect from inductive imbalance caused by off the shelf ferrite beads doing
that too.
In the case of load
cells, with ballpark 200 ohm drives and 0.1 uF caps, and a deep 50/60
Hz notch in the delta-sigma adc response, it's not an issue at all; do
the math. The ferrites are dead shorts at these frequencies. With a 25
mV full-scale load-cell signal, I can weigh things to 5-digit noise
and linearity with *unshielded* leads.
Line rejection is a trivial issue here, something obvious that simple
math can handle. RF rectification is far more insidious, less
predictable, and more dangerous (a little AC noise is nothing compared
to hard railing the ADC) and what you see on the schematic is just
part of the story.
Dealing with RF was entirely my point. I've wound bifilar chokes to keep the balance
correct on differential inputs.
Another thing I don't understand is why you insist on calling me
stupid when you disagree with me. I've never called you stupid.
You're the only one here to use the word !
