From considerations of dynamic range, resistor tempco match- ing, and matching of amplifier response, it is generally best to make RX, R2, R3, and R4 approximately equal.

Amplifier A1 would use in instrumentation amplifier configurations where low-level have a maximum output of ± 5 V plus 2 VCM, thus a limit of differential signals are to be amplified. The low-noise, low input ±10 V on the output of A1 would imply a limit of ±2.5 V on VCM. offsets, low drift, and high gain combined with excellent CMRR A nominal value of 100 kW for RN is suitable for most applica- provide the characteristics needed for high-performance instru- tions. A range of 200 W to 25 kW for RO will then provide a gain mentation amplifiers. In addition, the power supply current range of 10 to 1,000. The current through RO is VD/RO, so the drain is very low. amplifiers must supply ± 10 mV/200 W when the gain is at the The circuit of Figure 4 is recommended for applications where maximum value of 1,000 and VD is at ± 10 mV. the common-mode input range is relatively low and differential Rejecting common-mode inputs is most important in accurately gain will be in the range of 10 to 1,000.
