What is an instrumentation amplifier built from?

  • A.A single differential pair with a resistive load
  • B.Two differential pairs in cascade
  • C.A differential pair with a transformer input
  • D.Three operational amplifiers in a defined arrangement

Answer: D

The classical arrangement is two buffers feeding a differential stage, with one resistor setting the gain of the whole thing, giving very high input impedance at both inputs and excellent rejection. A bare pair has neither the impedance nor the rejection, and neither cascaded pairs nor a transformer describes it. Combining stages so that each supplies what the others lack is the pattern, and here the buffers supply impedance while the differential stage supplies rejection.
