On what factors gain of the instrumentation amplifier depends?
The gain of the amplifier depends only on the external resistors used. The output impedance of the instrumentation amplifier is very low due to the difference amplifier3. The CMRR of the op-amp 3 is very high and almost all of the common mode signal will be rejected.
What is digital variable gain amplifier?
Digital variable-gain amplifier A digitally controlled amplifier (DCA) is a variable-gain amplifier that is digitally controlled. The digitally controlled amplifier uses a stepped approach giving the circuit graduated increments of gain selection.
How is the gain of an instrumentation amplifier determined?
The above equation gives the output voltage of an instrumentation amplifier. The overall gain of the amplifier is given by the term (R3/R2) { (2R1+Rgain)/Rgain}. The overall voltage gain of an instrumentation amplifier can be controlled by adjusting the value of resistor Rgain.

How is a transducer bridge used in an instrumentation amplifier?
An instrumentation amplifier can be constructed with a transducer bridge connected to one of its input terminals, as shown in the figure below. Let the resistance of the transducer device in the resistive bridge be RT and the change in its resistance be ΔR.
What should the CMRR of an instrumentation amplifier be?
High CMRR: The output from the transducer usually contains common mode signals, when transmitted over long wires. A good instrumentation amplifier must amplify only the differential input, completely rejecting common mode inputs. Thus, the CMRR of the instrumentation amplifier must be ideally infinite.
