Cascadable current mode instrumentation amplifier

In this paper, a Current Mode Instrumentation Amplifier (CMIA) is presented. The proposed circuit employs two Extra X Current Controlled Current Conveyors (EX-CCCII) and a single grounded resistor. The circuit offers a wide differential-gain bandwidth, wide CMRR bandwidth, and electronically tunable differential gain. The circuit offers cascadibility feature with input impedance of 2.167 kΩ which is very small in comparison to the output impedance of 2.17 MΩ. Simultaneously, a Transresistance (TR) instrumentation amplifier is also obtained with the features of electronically tunable high differential gain and wide bandwidth. The effect of non-idealities of EX-CCCII on the circuit performance is also analysed. The validity of the proposed circuit is verified through PSPICE simulations using 0.25 µm parameters with a supply voltage of ±1.25 V. Also, the circuit is verified by experimental results.
