Typical instrumentation amplifier schematic. An instrumentation amplifier (sometimes shorthanded as 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.
A differential amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that amplifies the difference between two input voltages but suppresses any voltage common to the two inputs. [1] It is an analog circuit with two inputs and + and one output , in which the output is ideally proportional to the difference between the two voltages:
Isolation amplifiers are a form of differential amplifier that allow measurement of small signals in the presence of a high common mode voltage by providing electrical isolation and an electrical safety barrier. They protect data acquisition components from common mode voltages, which are potential differences between instrument ground and ...
Amplifies the difference in voltage between its inputs. The name "differential amplifier" must not be confused with the "differentiator", which is also shown on this page. The "instrumentation amplifier", which is also shown on this page, is a modification of the differential amplifier that also provides high input impedance.
In electronics, the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of a differential amplifier (or other device) is a metric used to quantify the ability of the device to reject common-mode signals, i.e. those that appear simultaneously and in-phase on both inputs. An ideal differential amplifier would have infinite CMRR, however this is not achievable in ...

A fully differential amplifier (FDA) is a DC-coupled high-gain electronic voltage amplifier with differential inputs and differential outputs. In its ordinary usage, the output of the FDA is controlled by two feedback paths which, because of the amplifier's high gain, almost completely determine the output voltage for any given input.
Differential amplifiers respond to differential signals by amplifying the difference between the voltages on the amplifier’s two inputs. The electronics industry, particularly in portable and mobile devices, continually strives to lower supply voltage to save power. [citation needed] A low supply voltage, however, reduces noise immunity ...
