Abstract :
This paper describes the design and the implementation of a 1 V instrumentation amplifier in a 1.2 μm CMOS process with VTN=0.6 V and VTP≈-0.8 V. The instrumentation amplifier has a peak-to-peak output signal swing of ±350 mV. It uses two 1 V opamps and a Norton amplifier. The input impedance of the instrumentation amplifier has been increased with a feedback structure as described in the paper. Experimental results show that the -3 dB bandwidth is approximately 900 kHz. For a peak-to-peak output voltage of 700 mV, the THD is found to be less than -60 dB at 10 kHz for a loading capacitance of 20 pF. The instrumentation amplifier was designed to have a differential gain of 10
