  • Abstract
    This paper presents a high input impedance instrumentation amplifier with low-noise low-power operation. JFET input-pair is employed instead of CMOS to significantly reduce the flicker noise. This amplifier features high input impedance (15.3 GΩ∥1.39 pF) by using current feedback technique and JFET input. This amplifier has a mid-band gain of 39.9 dB, and draws 3.65 μA from a 2.8-V supply and exhibits an input-referred noise of 3.81 μVrms integrated from 10 mHz to 100 kHz, corresponding to a noise efficiency factor (NEF) of 3.23.
