HIGH SPEED JFET INPUT INSTRUMENTATION
AMPLIFIER
Figure 53 shows an example of a high speed instrumentation
amplifier with a high input impedance using the ADA4817-1/
ADA4817-2. The dc transfer function is

For G = 1, it is recommended that the feedback resistors for the
two preamps be set to 0 Ω and the gain resistor be open. The
system bandwidth for G = 1 is 400 MHz. For gains higher than 2,
the bandwidth is set by the preamp, and it can be approximated by
In-amp−3 dB = (fCR × RG)/(2 × RF)
ADA4817-1/ADA4817-2
Common-mode rejection of the in-amp is primarily determined by
the match of resistor ratios, R1:R2 to R3:R4. It can be estimated by
VO = (δ1 − δ2)
VCM (1 + δ1) δ2
(17)
The summing junction impedance for the preamps is equal
to RF || 0.5(RG). Keep this value relatively low to improve the
bandwidth response like in the previous example.
