Signal Conditioning

Unit V
Introduction
Need for Signal Conditioning

• Getting the signal into the right type of signal.


• Getting the level of the right signal.
• Reducing Noise
• Making signal linear
• Amplification – Inverting and Non-Inverting Amplifier, Summing
Amplifier.
• Filtering – Low, High, band-pass, band-stop filters.
• Sample and hold circuit – It stores analog information and reduces the
aperture time of an A/D converter. Also, input voltage is acquired and
then stored on a high-quality capacitor.
The Sample-Hold unit shown in Fig. 14.4 samples the various inputs at a specified
time and holds the voltage levels at their output while analog multi­plexer
performs the Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) operation between different data
inputs.
DC Signal Conditioning

The main disadvantage of a DC amplifier is the problem of drift. Hence low-frequency spurious signals are
available as data at the output and to avoid this low drift of a DC amplifier, special low-drift DC amplifiers are
used.
The DC amplifiers is followed by a low-pass filter, which is used to eliminate high-frequency components or
noise from the data signals.
In order to overcome the problem of drift in the DC systems, AC systems are used.

Current Amplifier
Instrumentation Amplifier
• An instrumentation amplifier (in-amp or InAmp) is a
type of differential amplifier that has been outfitted
with input buffer amplifiers, which eliminate the
need for input impedance matching and thus make
the amplifier particularly suitable for use in
measurement and test equipment.
• Additional characteristics include very low DC offset,
low drift, low noise, very high open-loop gain, very
high common-mode rejection ratio, and very
high input impedances. Instrumentation amplifiers
are used where great accuracy and stability of
the circuit both short- and long-term are required.
