APPLICATIONS HINTS
The block diagram shown in Figure 6 illustrates a typical data
acquisition front end suitable for low-level analog signals.
Differential multiplexing of small signals is preferred since
this method helps to reject any common mode noise. This is
especially important when the sensors are located at a
distance and it may eliminate the need for individual

amplifiers. A low r_DS(on), low leakage multiplexer like the
DG407 helps to reduce measurement errors. The low power
dissipation of the DG407 minimizes on-chip thermal
gradients which can cause errors due to temperature
mismatch along the parasitic thermocouple paths. Please
refer to Application Note AN203 for additional information.
