Figure 6 shows an in-amp circuit that has the obvious advantage

of requiring only one AD706, rather than three op amps, with

subsequent savings in cost and power consumption. The transfer

Furthermore, the circuit gain may be fine trimmed using an

optional trim resistor, RG. Like the three op amp circuit, CMR

increases with gain, once initial trimming is accomplished—but

CMR is still dependent upon the ratio matching of Resistors R1

through R4. Resistor values for this circuit, using the optional

gain resistor, RG, can be calculated using
