Week Number 21 Subject Code EE-1029 Subject Electronic Circuit Design 1 Lecturer Prof Hicks KEY POINTS The aim of this tutorial is to familiarise students with the properties of the instrumentation amplifier and appreciate its advantages in situations where small signals have to be amplified in the presence of large amounts of common-mode noise. The difference amplifier formed by A could be used on its own, but it has a 3 relatively low input resistance (~ 2R , assuming that R = R ). The addition of 3 3 5 non-inverting amplifiers A and A helps to make the input resistance of the 1 2 instrumentation amplifier very large. The CMRR of the amplifier can theoretically be made infinitely large as long as R R 4 6 R R 3 5 In practice the resistors have tolerances that will limit the magnitude of the CMRR. Solution (a) See bullet point #2 above under ‘Key Points’. The op amps A1 and A2 are non- inverting amplifiers which serve to provide a very high input resistance. A3 is a difference amplifier. The difference amplifier consisting of A3 on its own has the disadvantage that the input resistance of the circuit is relatively low ((~ 2R ), and
