Diagram Guide

Simple Instrumentation Amplifier Circuit Diagram, An instrumentation (or instrumentational) amplifier is a type of differential amplifier that has been outfitted with input buffer amplifiers, which eliminate the need for input impedance matching and thus make the amplifier particularly suitable for use in measurement and test equipment. LTC1043 and LT1013 dual op amps are used to create a dual instrumentation amplifier using just two packages. 

A single DPDT section converts the differential input to a ground-referred single-ended signal at the LT1013`s input. With the input switches closed, C1 acquires the input signal. When the input switches open, C2`s switches close and C2 receives charge. Continuous clocking forces C2`s voltage to equal the difference between the schema`s inputs. The 0.01-I`F capacitor at pin 16 sets the switching frequency at 500Hz. Common-mode voltages are rejected by over 120 dB and drift is low.
