When the instrumentation amplifier is used with high
impedancesources,theLT1114isrecommendedbecause
its CMRR vs frequency performance is better than the
LT1112’s. For example, with two matched 1MΩ source
resistors, CMRRat100Hzis100dBwiththeLT1114, 76dB
with the LT1112.

The concepts of common mode and power supply rejec-
tion ratio match (∆CMRR and ∆PSRR) are best demon-
strated with a numerical example:
On the dual op amp package, positive input A is next to the
V– pin (AC ground), while positive input B has no AC
ground pin adjacent to it, resulting in a 0.25pF input
capacitance mismatch. At 100Hz, 0.25pF represents a
6.4 • 109 input impedance mismatch, which is only 76dB
higher than the 1MΩ source resistors.
Assume CMRRA = +1µV/V or 120dB,
and CMRRB = +0.75µV/V or 122.5dB,
then ∆CMRR = 0.25µV/V or 132dB;
if CMRRB = –0.75µV/V which is still 122.5dB,
then ∆CMRR = 1.75µV/V or 115dB.
On the quad package, all four inputs are adjacent to a
power supply terminal—therefore, there is no mismatch.
ClearlytheLT1112/LT1114,byspecifyingandguarantee-
ing all of these matching parameters, can significantly
improve the performance of matching-dependent
circuits.
