Hello Kuo,

Here are some observations concerning your circuit:

1) The positive power supply is grounded and connected to Vref. However, it looks like the input is +3V. In order to input a positive input signal you need a positive supply voltage. I suggest adding a +5V supply and grounding the reference pin.

2) There is nothing connected to VIN+. Therefore the output of amplifier A2 will be undetermined and therefore operation will be undetermined. I recommend connecting VIN+ to a potential.

3) Please ensure the amplifier is operating linearly. Please refer to the following FAQ:

I highly recommend downloading and installing the INA Common-mode Calculator. Here is a direct link:
