The Intersil ISL2853x/63x series IAs are pretty cool devices. These are a series of instrumentation amplifiers based on the usual three-op-amp configuration. They are built on a low-voltage process, ...

With more than 500 conventional sensors monitoring the condition and performance of various subsystems on a medium sized spacecraft, there is a growing need for precision radiation tolerant ...

In the past, the term instrumentation amplifier (INA) was often misused, referring to the application rather than the device’s architecture. INAs are related to op amps, in that they’re based on the ...

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 AD8295 precision instrumentation-amplifier front end from Analog Devices uses 50% less board space than competing amplifier solutions for industrial process controls, precision data acquisition ...

This 126-page guide helps engineers select, evaluate, and design the most appropriate in-amps for specific applications by covering a wide range of topics including: in-amp design basics, ac input ...

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 ...

Phase sensitive or lock-in amplifiers can extract low level signals in the presence of relatively high noise and, recently, there has been growing interest in their use in portable or embedded ...
