High-gain differential Amplifier Gain Selectable 100, 1000, 10000? 10000 most important CMRR Moderately important? less so if we float the current source. contact resistances Bandwidth 0-10,000 would be nice, 0-200 Hz important Phase Phase stability important (i.e. it can molest phase as long as it does so uniformly over input range) Accuracy vs. above features? Robust? (undergrads) Voltage-controlled Current Source Source +- 0.5 amps limit at 0.5 amps Accuracy? We can measure it but it would be nice to be accurate. Load resistance will go from ~500 ohms to ~200 ohms 0 - 4000 Hz would be nice, 0-200 Hz important. floating would be nice.
