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

Simple Squib Firing Circuit Diagram

on
This is a Simple Squib Firing Circuit Diagram . Capacitor Cl is charged to +28 V through Rl and stores energy for firing the squib. A positive pulse of 1 mA applied to the gate of SCR1 will cause it to conduct, discharging Cl into the squib load XI. 

With the load in the cathode circuit, the cathode rises immediately to + 28 V as soon as the SCR is triggered on. DiodeD1 decouples the gate from the gate trigger source, allowing the gate to rise in potential along with the cathode so that the negative gate-to-cathode voltage rating is not exceeded. 

This circuit will reset itself after test firing, since the available current through Rl is less than the holding current of the SCR. After Cl has been discharged, the SCR automatically turns off—allowing Cl to recharge.
