The current-mode instrumentation amplifier (CMIA) based on op-amp powe
r-supply current sensing offers distinct advantages over conventional
architecture designs. The CMIA is studied in detail and the CMRR expre
ssion is derived in terms of op-amp and transistor parameters. A good
CMRR is shown to depend upon several factors, including the power-supp
ly rejection ratio of the op-amps used in the CMIA. The results obtain
ed are shown to compare well with SPICE simulation and provide valuabl
e design insight for development of the next generation of CMIAs.
