- Instrumentation AmplifierOne drawback of the differential amplifier is that its input impedance (
) may not be high enough if the output impedance of the previous stage is not low enough. To overcome this problem, two non-inverters with high input resistance can be used each for one of the two inputs to the differential amplifier. The resulting circuit is shown below:
The analysis of this circuit is very simple. As the output impedance of the non-inverter is low, the three op-amp circuit can be considered as three independent circuits. The outputs of the two non-inverters are:
The output voltage of the differential amplifier is:
Of course the two resistorscan be combined to become
, i.e.,
, then the output can be written as:
Alternatively, we consider the current going fromto
:
From the equation of the first two terms we get:
From the equation of the second two terms we get:
Using the equation of the differential amplifier above, we get the same result as above:
