we are using the PGA116 in the following configuration
3 analog switches (DG4051EEQ) are connected to 3 channels of the PGA116 (CH0-CH2), further 7 analog inputs are connected directly to the PGA (CH3-CH9).
When the analog inputs are connected to a fixed voltage there is no problem.
When one input is left floating and that channel sampled at the output, VOUT of the PGA is subject to a sort of weak pull up effect (see oscilloscope picture, with CH1 VOUT and CH2 DIN signals). It happens with all channels (CH0 to CH9).
As soon we try to measure the inputs with an oscilloscope this “effect” disappears (the signals are then LOW), probably because the output is pulled down by the oscilloscope.
Are floating inputs allowed or they should be pulled down (100kOhm)? Why when we measure VOUT with the oscilloscope the signal remains still HIGH (so pulled up)?
Thank you in forward for any answer, best
