Designing the instrumentation amplifier, with its few external components, appears to be a simple task, but to obtain a reliable design, you must avoid certain traps. You must correctly match the ...

[John Miller] has the perfect response next time he complains about an ache or pain and one of his friends says, “You should listen to your body!” As you can see in the video below, he already does.

Instrumentation amplifiers (in-amps) show up in a broad spectrum of applications: measuring heart signals, factory monitoring equipment, aircraft controls, and even animal tagging. Engineers have ...

In the first article about measurement systems we looked at sensors as a way to bring data into a measurement system. I explained that a sensor measures physical quantities which are turned into a ...

The most common device for the measurement of load, pressure, torque, and even piezo-resistive (low frequency) acceleration is the strain gauge transducer. As a transducer, which converts a measured ...

Many industrial and medical applications use instrumentation amplifiers (INA) to condition small signals in the presence of large common-mode voltages and DC potentials. The three op amp INA ...

The XTR105, XTR112, and XTR114 from Burr-Brown are a family of two-wire, 4-20 mA current-loop transmitters with instrumentation-amplifier input stages. The front end is designed to be used with a ...
