Measuring the linear operating region of instrumentation amplifiers
by Peter Semig and Collin Wells, Texas Instruments There are numerous publications from the past two years that discuss the theoretical linear operating region of instrumentation amplifiers. The publications cover the three primary topologies of instrumentation amplifiers: three-op-amp,[1] twoop-amp,[2] and two-op-amp with gain stage,[3] which are shown in Figure 1. Each publication derives the node […]
