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

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 ...

This FanTemperature Controller circuit design technique to adopt a more ancient as its objective is to vary the fan speed in relation to temperature with a fraction of counting and avoid using special-purpose integrated circuits, often difficult to obtain.



R3-R1-R4 and P1 are connected as a Wheatstone bridge in which R3-R4 generates a fixed two-thirds of the supply of "reference" voltage, P1-R1 generates a temperature-sensitive "variable" power and Q1 is used as a balanced bridge detector.

P1 is adjusted so that the "reference" stress "variable" is equal to a temperature just below the critical value necessary, and under the base of Q1 and the condition of the issuer are located in the same tensions and Q1 cut. When the temperature rises above this R1 "balance" the value of P1-R1 voltage falls below the "reference" value, so that Q1 is polarized, pulse charging C1.

This is because the circuit is supplied by a 100 Hz half-wave voltage from the mains supply by means of the D3-D6 diode bridge without filter capacitors and fixed to 18V by Zener diode D1 and R9. Therefore the supply of 18 volt DC circuit is not true, but it has a trapezoidal shape instead. C1 provides a variable lag phase pulse train related to temperature and synchronized with the mains "zero voltage" point of each half cycle, resulting in minimal change RFI SCR. Q2 and Q3 form a firing device, which generates a short pulse suitable for driving the SCR.
