1. What is Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) and why is it important for instrumentation amplifiers?
CMRR indicates an instrumentation amplifier's ability to suppress common mode signals, with higher values being better. A high CMRR is especially important in noisy environments to ensure that the amplifier primarily amplifies differential signals and is not affected by common mode interference.
-
2. How is the noise performance of instrumentation amplifiers optimized?
Select low-noise amplifiers in your design and use shielding, filters, and precise power management to minimize external noise. High-quality resistors should be used wherever possible and PCB layout should be optimized to reduce noise coupling.
-
3. What is Slew Rate and how does it affect op amp performance?
Slew rate is the maximum rate of change of an operational amplifier's output voltage over time. Higher slew rates are good for fast-changing signals and can handle higher frequency inputs, while lower slew rates can cause signal distortion.
-
4. What is a Buffer Amp and what is its function?
A Buffer Amp is an amplifier with a unit gain that is mainly used in voltage follower circuits to provide a high input impedance and a low output impedance to isolate the signal source from the load and prevent signal distortion or attenuation.
