Hello!
I would like to address a problem I'm mulling over at the moment. I have a micro-controller based circuit with a front end consisting of an Instrumentation amplifier. I thought of applying zero volts to the inputs (via pins from PIC) as a way of finding the sum of offset voltages - via A/D converter. My worry is that this could affect the high CMRR (120dB) needed at the input - can this be quantified?
Another alternative is to use Comparators of the PIC, but I'm already using one of them. This circuit is battery operated (9V split supply) and would therefore have to perform (lowest point) at 3V - ruling out a CMOS switch.
These are just a few thoughts whizzing around me at the moment. Any help on which way to go would be helpful.
Regards,
Ozzy.
