A Driven Right Leg circuit or DRL circuit, also known as Right Leg Driving technique, is an electric circuit that is often added to biological signal amplifiers to reduce common-mode interference. Biological signal amplifiers such as ECG ( electrocardiogram ) EEG ( electroencephalogram ) or EMG circuits measure very small electrical signals ...
The amplitude of ECG ranges from 0.3 to 2 mV for the QRS complex, which is used to determine the interbeat interval from which the frequency is derived. The typical requirements for the amplifiers to be used in ECG include: [1] Low internal noise (<2 mV) High Input Impedance (Z in > 10 MΩ) Bandwidth ranging from 0.16–250 Hz
ECG voltages measured across the body are very small. This low voltage necessitates a low noise circuit, instrumentation amplifiers, and electromagnetic shielding. Simultaneous lead recordings: earlier designs recorded each lead sequentially, but current models record multiple leads simultaneously.
A commonly used amplifier is the instrumentation amplifier. Instrumentation amplifiers such as the integrated circuit (IC) AD620 amplifier are able to amplify the difference between two different voltage inputs while maintaining little offset voltage and a high CMRR, allowing it to amplify low frequency signals while rejecting noise.

NeuroKit ("nk") is an open source toolbox for physiological signal processing. [1] The most recent version, NeuroKit2, is written in Python and is available from the PyPI package repository. [2]
The capacity of an isolation amplifier is a function of two key isolation amplifier specifications: The amplifier’s isolation breakdown voltage, which defines the absolute maximum common mode voltage that it will tolerate without damage. Specifications of 1,000 volts and more are common. The amplifier’s common mode rejection ratio (CMRR ...
A process design kit (PDK) is a set of files used within the semiconductor industry to model a fabrication process for the design tools used to design an integrated circuit. The PDK is created by the foundry defining a certain technology variation for their processes. It is then passed to their customers to use in the design process.
