This paper presents a novel method to realize a current mode instrumentation amplifier (CMIA) through CDBA (Current difference Buffered Amplifier). It employs two CDBAs and two resistors to obtain desired functionality. Further, it does not require any resistor matching. The gain can be set according to the resistor values. It offers high differential gain and a bandwidth, which is independent of gain. The working of the circuit is verified through PSPICE simulations using CFOA IC based CDBA realization.

Abstract In this paper a programmable input mode instrumentation amplifier (IA) utilising second generation, multiple output current conveyors and transmission gates is presented. Its main advantage is the ability to choose a voltage or current mode of inputs by setting the voltage of two configuration nodes. The presented IA is prepared as an integrated circuit block to be used alone or as a sub-block in a microcontroller or in a field programmable gate array (FPGA), which shall condition analogue signals to be next converted by an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC). IA is designed in AMS 0.35 µm CMOS technology and the power supply is 3.3 V; the power consumption is approximately 9.1 mW. A linear input range in the voltage mode reaches ± 1.68 V or ± 250 µA in current mode. A passband of the IA is above 11 MHz. The amplifier works in class A, so its current supply is almost constant and does not cause noise disturbing nearby working precision analogue circuits.

In this paper, a high performance current-mode instrumentation amplifier has been proposed with low noise, low power and high CMRR features. The proposed design can adjust the gain with an external resistor for the processing of various biomedical signals. To reduce the noise of the amplifier, two design methods including PMOS input and lateral pnp BJT input have been implemented to improve the prior arts. To meet the single power supply need, a biomedical voltage level shifter is also proposed for low cost CMOS implementation. Based on the post-layout simulation results, the presented current-mode amplifier achieves high CMRR over 120 dB, power consumption of 61 uW at 1.8-V supply using standard 0.18-um CMOS technology.
