Figure 34. Gain-of-10 Instrumentation Amplifier with Post Filtering

The instrumentation amplifier with post filtering (see Figure 34)

combines two applications that benefit greatly from the AD704.

This circuit achieves low power and dc precision over temperature

with a minimum of components.

The instrumentation amplifier circuit offers many performance

benefits, including BiFET level input bias currents, low input

offset voltage drift, and only 1.2 mA quiescent current. It operates

for gains that are G ≥ 2 and, at lower gains, it benefits from no

output amplifier offset and no noise contribution as encountered

in a 3-op-amp design. Good low frequency CMRR is achieved

even without the optional ac CMRR trim (see Figure 35). Table 4

provides resistance values for three common circuit gains. For

other gains, use the following equations:
