Question No. 3 [18]
Consider the following difference amplifier circuit (Circuit 4).
(a) Calculate the differential gain and the differential input resistance for the following
difference amplifier. [4]
(b) What are the major drawbacks of this amplifier? [2]
(c) Modify the circuit to construct an instrumentation amplifier. Find the gain expression of
the instrumentation amplifier. [6]
(d) Design the instrumentation amplifier circuit and choose appropriate values for the
resistors so that the overall gain can be varied from 10 to 1000. Do not change the
resistor values of the original difference amplifier. Use a 10 K pot for the design. [6]
