  • Gain-control circuit and method for instrumentation amplifiers
    Patent number: 11424727
    Abstract: An instrumentation amplifier with an electronically adjustable gain is disclosed. The gain is adjusted by electronically controlling a resistance coupled to a feedback portion of the instrumentation amplifier. The resistance is adjusted by switches controlled by resistor-control signals references to a common mode voltage appearing at the input of the instrumentation amplifier. Accordingly, the instrumentation amplifier is capable of accommodating a high voltage range of common mode voltages while still providing controllable gain.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 23, 2022
    Assignee: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLC
    Inventors: Cornel D. Stanescu, Cristian Marian Dinca, Gerald William Steele
