Microchip Technology expanded its portfolio for instrumentation amplifiers with the addition of its new zero-drift MCP6N16. This device has a self-correcting architecture that extends DC performance ...

As analog engineers, it’s tempting to fantasize about one day coming close to designing the ideal operational amplifier we encountered in college: infinite bandwidth, zero output resistance, and so on ...

Designing the instrumentation amplifier, with its few external components, appears to be a simple task, but to obtain a reliable design, you must avoid certain traps. You must correctly match the ...

Many industrial and medical applications use instrumentation amplifiers (INA) to condition small signals in the presence of large common-mode voltages and DC potentials. The three op amp INA ...

What does an instrumentation amplifier do? An instrumentation amplifier (also known as an in amp) measures small signals in the presence of a noisy environment. The noise generally is common-mode ...

The most common device for the measurement of load, pressure, torque, and even piezo-resistive (low frequency) acceleration is the strain gauge transducer. As a transducer, which converts a measured ...
