Single Chip Single Supply Instrumentation Amplifier

The AD623 is a single chip instrumentation amplifier. The internal circuit is based on a modified classic three op amp approach to assure single or dual supply operation even at common-mode voltages at the negative supply rail. Some key features are: Low voltage offsets, input and output, as well as absolute gain accuracy, and one external resistor to set the […]
