Typical Instrumentation Amplifier Operation

Instrumentation amplifiers are a two-stage circuit used to extract and amplify differential input signals in the presence of common-mode voltages, as shown in Figure 1-1. The first stage forms a high-input-impedance circuit that amplifies the differential signal but passes the common mode signal without amplification. The second stage of the design is typically a difference amplifier that largely removes the common-mode signal while referencing the output to a specific reference voltage.
