Micropower, Single Supply, Rail-to-Rail Input-Output Instrumentation Amplifiers

The EL8170 and EL8173 are micropower instrumentation amplifiers optimized for operation at 2.9V to 5V single supplies. Inputs and outputs can operate rail-to-rail. As with all instrumentation amplifiers, a pair of inputs provide very high common-mode rejection and are completely independent from a pair of feedback terminals. The feedback terminals allow zero input to be translated to any output offset, including ground. A feedback divider controls the overall gain of the amplifier.
