An instrumentation amplifier is a type of operational amplifier that has been specifically designed to have characteristics suitable for use in measurement and test equipment . These characteristics include very low d.c. offset, low drift, low noise, very high open loop gain , very high common mode rejection , and very high input impedances. They are used where great accuracy and stability of a circuit both short and long term are required.
