Precision instrumentation amplifier

The instrumentation amplifier uses three op amp. The circuit, shown in Figure 48:

"Precision instrumentation amplifier schematic", exhibits high input impedance, so that the

source impedance of the connected sensor has no impact on the amplification.

The gain is set by tuning the Rg resistor. With R1 = R2 and R3 = R4, the output is given by

Equation 3.

Equation 3

The matching of R1, R2 and R3, R4 is important to ensure a good common mode rejection

ratio (CMR).

Low-side current sensing

Power management mechanisms are found in most electronic systems. Current sensing is

useful for protecting applications. The low-side current sensing method consists of placing

a sense resistor between the load and the circuit ground. The resulting voltage drop is

amplified using OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS op amp (see Figure 49: "Low-side

current sensing schematic").
