Abstract
A gain stage, such as an amplifier, e.g., an instrumentation amplifier, can receive an input signal and adjust the level of the input signal, e.g., amplify or attenuate. An output voltage of the gain stage can be applied to a subsequent circuit. Using various techniques, a second stage of an instrumentation amplifier, which can include a transconductance stage that converts a current to a voltage that can be applied to an output node of the instrumentation amplifier, can be removed. Removal of such a second stage can allow an output current from the gain stage to be applied directly from a current output node to an input node of a subsequent circuit.
