Sep 8, 2020 at 21:37 comment added user42875 @VoltageSpike: I waited for a long time and thought no one would answer. But since you went through the trouble of helping me, I'll start another one and give it to you - expensive mistake, but I don't like doing that to helpful contributors!

Aug 19, 2020 at 13:02 comment added user42875 I'm waiting 3 more hours and I'll put a bounty on this question, +150. Would that be worthwhile for you to answer these questions by annotating my schematics/layouts?
Aug 19, 2020 at 13:00 comment added user42875 Thanks for your comment. I would like to allow any PSU, so if only some are isolated I have to assume the connected PSUs will not. I am open to changing my grounding scheme by connecting the ground of my +/-15V supply to the SMA_SHIELD plane (looking like a star) instead of AN_GND, but that may result in a ground loop through mains... What do you mean the SMA shield connections raise eyebrows? Also, I don't understand why my SE-BP to differential conversion would not work? How would I filter,buffer,convert to differential in one stage instead?

Aug 19, 2020 at 12:27 comment added Chris Knudsen Please be confident of your power and signalling grounds. I personally do not agree with your grounding topology, but that is a debate that often ends with drawing at ten paces. Specifically the apparent lack of a star ground, and the SMA shield connections raise eyebrows. Luckily, your bandwidth is low, and you can probably heavily average/median the results to get 14 bits. Also, you are not using true differential drivers to the ADC. The signals on the SMA are likely Single-Ended, Bi-Polar. Consider adding a conversion stage to convert to differential, and you will add 1 or 2 more bits.

Aug 19, 2020 at 11:05 comment added user42875 Post entirely updated to reflect the fact I had forgotten to buffer the signals ; I've also added a grounding diagram and views to easily spot where the signals went.

Aug 17, 2020 at 19:15 comment added user42875 Also, I'd like to learn by projects, this is a good opportunity to improve my knowledge of analog design since I've already done the best I could.

Aug 17, 2020 at 19:09 comment added user42875 Interesting link, thanks. I can only take away some isolated bits because the ADC is not the same (and, I find, Less suitable). I know first spins are rare, but they are quite common with simple functional blocks. I haven't had to respin simple boards for a while (though they were mostly digital I must admit), and so I'm expected to do the same for this one (student project with tight schedule)...
Aug 17, 2020 at 18:36 comment added Chris Knudsen Even though I, frankly, don't have the time or interest to step though your design, I immediately thought of this project: https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/instrumentation/analog-discovery-2/reference-manual#scope. Perhaps you could reduce the risk of not prototyping by learning from another successful design. BTW: Electronics design is much like programming, it is never completed on the first spin.
