Best Instrumentation Amplifier for high impedance source

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA121

I need to design a couple  of differential input pre- amplifiers for a high impedance electrochemistry potential type of measurement. The target impedances of my circuitry are 10 megOhm and 100 megOhm or greater (both).. the differential signal range is about 1 volt.. The frequency of the  signals is DC to 4 Khz.  This is a battery operated system with 20v battery.   The output is going to a National instruments DAQ with 24 bit sampling at 10Khz (1 meg Ohm input impedance).  Other features I would like are over-voltage protection, and ESD input protection,, obviously I will need to filter RFI .

Which IA should I choose and any recommendations on the circuitry would be nice. This is a new realm for me and I am not experienced with the tricks of dealing with high impedance signals.  

Thanks, Robert

  • obert,

    The highest input impedance instrumentation amplifier for Vsupply of 20V is our INA121 with input impedance in Tera-ohm  range - see below.  

    It has also sufficient bandwidth for your application up to a gain of 1,000.

    INA121 has internal over-voltage as well as ESD protection - see below.
