U3 AD620 is an Analog Devices instrumentation amplifier Following the IA is the high common mode rejection

applications such as ECG. The gain is computed using the circuits and equipment from damage. Iso-amp gives as much as
equation G = (49.4 KΩ / R1 ) + 1 . For accuracy, R1 was 1012Ω to 9pF of insulation between the patient connector and the
AC power main line cord [5]. It also amplifies signals while
chosen to be 2kΩ, 1% tolerance, so the IA achieves a gain of
reducing noise, particularly the 60Hz interference. The voltage
