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

Automatic Room light Controller with OpAmp: 

It is more important to save power. here the one way to save the power by automatic controlling of room lights. This is also an application of OpAmp based comparator. This is based on the light intensity in the room, here we use LDR(light dependent resistor) who's resistance decreases with increase in room light intensity. There is a choice that you can change the threshold level to your desired level so that it can operate at that intensity level. It does not require any microcontroller or any other programmable devices.

components procured:
>LDR  
>OpAmp 741
>resistor 10k
>BC547 transistor
>SPDT relay 12V
>1N4001 diode 
>battery and a bulb

 here i connected the LDR output to the inverting terminal and a threshold voltage of 1.5v is connected to the non-inverting terminal. so that whenever the light intensity increases the LDR output will decrease and if it is less than the threshold the output of the opamp will be +Vsat=+5v.This will trun on the BC547 so that relay will be connected as shown here, bulb will not glow
                                           VLDR >1.5v ; transistor ON; Light OFF;

  to see the output                                             A book on OPAMP circuits

 when the room light intensity decreases LDR resistance will decrease and voltage across the resistor goes high. when it is greater than the threshold opamp output goes to -Vsat=-5v. then the BC547 will goes to the cutoff region (OFF state). so the light will glow.
