Q1 provides the In an ideal difference amplifier, the ratio of the resistors is set current drive for the 350 Ω bridge network.

VOUT = AV (V1 − V2) (20) Using the values given in Figure 63, the output voltage linearly varies from 0 V with no strain to 4 V under ful strain. Due to finite component tolerance, the ratio between the four resistors is not exactly equal, and any mismatch results in a reduction of common-mode rejection from the system. Referring 5V2 to Figure 64, the exact common-mode rejection ratio can be 2.5V631kREF192ΩQ1 expressed as A22N2222ORAD8572-B4 1R4 R + 2R2R4 + R2R3 EQUIVALENT12kΩ20kΩ CMRR = (21) 4.0V 2R1R4 − 2R2R3 R1R217.4kΩ 100Ω In the 3-op amp instrumentation amplifier configuration shown in Figure 65, the output difference amplifier is set to unity gain 40mV with all four resistors equal in value.

MIN 01104- 2δ Figure 63. 5 V Precision Strain Gage Amplifier AD8574-AV23 V INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIERR The high common-mode rejection, high open-loop gain, RR and operation down to 3 V of the supply voltage make the VRGRROUT AD8571/AD8572/AD8574 an excellent op amp choice for RAD8574-C discrete single-supply instrumentation amplifiers. The common-mode rejection ratio of the AD8571/AD8572/ V1RTRIMAD8574-B AD8574 is greater than 120 dB, but the CMRR of the system 065 is also a function of the external resistor tolerances. The gain 2RV(V1 – V2)OUT = 1 + RG of the difference amplifier shown in Figure 64 is given as 01104- Figure 65. Discrete Instrumentation Amplifier Configuration R4 1 R R2 V = OUT V1 1 + − V 2 (18) Therefore, using 1% tolerance resistors results in a worst-case R3 + R4 R2 1 R system CMRR of 0.02, or 34 dB. To achieve high common- mode rejection, either high precision resistors or an additional trimming resistor, as shown in Figure 65, should be used. The value of this trimming resistor should be equal to the value of R multiplied by its tolerance. For example, using 10 kΩ resistors with 1% tolerance would require a series trimming resistor equal to 100 Ω. Rev.
