Instrumentation Amplifier
A three Op-Amps instrumentation Amplifer is shown in Figure 1. Three
Op-Amps instrumentation amplifiers are popular because they offer high
input resistance, adjustable differential gain, and high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR).

The common mode gain of the instrumentation amplifier can be determined by driving both vI2 and vI1 with the same source (e.g. vicm ) and
and calculating vo /vicm .
