Block diagram of a biomedical instrument Instrumentation amplifier provides differential amplification Input 1 Input filter To: ADC Instrument Screen Etc. Differential amp More amp More filtering Input 2 Input filter 415-5
Instrumentation amplifier Input buffers Differential amplification 415-5
What is the bandwidth? Note that gain*BW is not constant 415-5
Gain revisited 415-5
How is the common-mode performance? CMRR – common-mode rejection ratio 415-5
More expensive IA have higher CMRR and lower tolerance resistors A laser “trims” the internal resistors while still on the wafer until they are within tolerance. More time spent trimming gives better CMRR but higher cost. 415-5
Biopotential amplifier 415-5
What does the input circuitry do? • Diodes for protection • Resistors and capacitors for filtering • Analyze corner frequencies for prelab • Save or rebuild this circuit for ECG lab 415-5
