Abstract
A reconfigurable amplifier comprising a first operational amplifier having two inputs and an output. A second operational amplifier having two inputs and an output. A plurality of switches coupled to the two inputs and the output of the first operational amplifier and the two inputs and the output of the second operational amplifier, wherein a first configuration of the plurality of switches causes the first operational amplifier and the second operational amplifier to operate as an inverting differential input amplifier, and wherein a second configuration of the plurality of switches causes the first operational amplifier and the second operational amplifier to operate as a non-inverting differential input instrumentation amplifier.
