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

WRDC Variable Gain Amplifier Circuit Diagram

Build a WRDC Variable Gain Amplifier Circuit Diagram or Wide range digitally controlled variable gain amplifier circuit diagram. The circuit uses the LTC1043 in a variable gain amplifier which features continuously variable gain, gain stability of 20 ppm/°C, and single-ended or differential inputs. The circuit uses two separate LTC1043s. LTC1043B is continuously clocked by a 1-kHz source, which could also be processor supplied.

Both LTC1043s function as the sampled data equivalent of a resistor within the bandwidth set by Al`s 0.01-I`F value and the switched-capacitor equivalent feedback resistor. The time-averaged current delivered to the summing point by LTC1043A is a function of the 0.01-I`F capacitor`s input-derived voltage and the commutation frequency at pin 16. Low-commutation frequencies result in small time-averaged current values, and require a large input resistor. Higher frequencies require an equivalent small input resistor.
