Abstract: An instrumentation amplifier includes first and second resistors for gain setting. The operational amplifiers within the instrumentation amplifier include selectively enabled current drive sources coupled to the amplifier output. The first and second resistors have variable resistances. A control circuit is configured to select the variable resistances of the first and second resistors to implement a fixed gain for the instrumentation amplifier and further selectively enable the current drive sources. The control circuit receives an indication of a downstream programmable gain (for example, from a downstream programmable gain amplifier). The variable resistances of the first and second resistors are selected to be scaled inversely with respect to the downstream programmable gain and the current drive sources are enabled proportionately with respect to the downstream programmable gain.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for detecting functional state of a microelectromechanical (MEMS) sensor is described. The method includes monitoring an input common-mode feedback (ICMFB) voltage generated by an ICMFB circuit coupled to the MEMS sensor through a plurality of nodes. The method also includes determining, using the monitored ICMFB voltage, whether all of the plurality of nodes of the MEMS sensor are electrically connected to the ICMFB circuit.
