High CMRR Instrumentation Amplifier (Schematic and Layout) design for biomedical applications

on
Instrumentation amplifiers are intended to be used whenever acquisition of a useful signal is difficult. IA’s must have extremely high input impedances because source impedances may be high and/or unbalanced. bias and offset currents are low and relatively stable so that the source impedance need not be constant. Balanced differential inputs are provided so that the signal source may be referenced to any reasonable level independent of the IA output load reference. Common mode rejection, a measure of input balance, is very high so that noise pickup and ground drops, characteristic of remote sensor applications, are minimized.Care is taken to provide high, well characterized stability of critical parameters under varying conditions, such as changing temperatures and supply voltages. Finally, all components that are critical to the performance of the IA are internal to the device. The precision of an IA is provided at the expense of flexibility. By committing to the one specific task of

Samsung comes up with Android-powered cameras next?

 

 

After emerging as one of the largest players in the Android smartphone space, the manufacturer is said to be evaluating new Android-based endeavors like a camera.


What do you if you're Samsung and you've pretty much conquered the Android smartphone landscape?
Well, according to a recent Engadget report, the company is now evaluating the Android-based digital camera market.
The tech blog recently spent some time touring Samsung Korea's headquarters where it learned that the manufacturer's R&D department is considering an "open" camera operating system. Given that Samung has been a big advocate of Android for smartphones and tablets, it stands to reason that they would use An

Should Samsung ultimately decide to step into this space, it would not be the first company to release an Android-based digital camera. Polaroid recently announced its SC1630 camera at CES and expects to have it on the market later this year. Featuring a 16-megapixel camera and 3x f3.1-5.8 36-108mm zoom lens, it's said to be the first of multiple devices from Polaroid.
I've expected to see Android-powered digital cameras for quite some time now, even once thinking they would beat tablets to the market. For whatever reason, though, there just has not been any movement on this front.
Considering all of the photo filter apps on the market and just how much we all love to share pictures of our sushi, I like the idea of Samsung getting involved. As good as some of the cameras are on today's smartphones, they simply aren't on par with standalone devices.
