and types of components, where possible to match the number and type of thermocouple junctions. For example,
dummy components such as zero value resistors can be used to match real resistors in the opposite input path.
Matching components should be located in close proximity and should be oriented in the same manner. Ensure leads
are of equal length so that thermal conduction is in equilibrium. Keep heat sources on the PCB as far away from
amplifier input circuitry as is practical.
The use of a ground plane is highly recommended. A ground plane reduces EMI noise and also helps to maintain a
constant temperature across the circuit board.
Instrumentation Amplifier
The LMV321A/358A/324A OPA is well suited for conditioning sensor signals in battery-powered applications. Figure 4
shows a two op-amp instrumentation amplifier, using the LMV321A/358A/324A OPA.
The circuit works well for applications requiring rejection of Common Mode noise at higher gains. The reference
voltage (V
REF
) is supplied by a low-impedance source. In single voltage supply applications, V
REF
is typically V

/2.

Gain-of-100 Amplifier Circuit
Figure 5 shows a Gain-of-100 amplifier circuit using two LMV321A/358A/324A OPAs. It draws 74uA total current
from supply rail, and has a -3dB frequency at 100kHz. Figure 6 shows the small signal frequency response of the
circuit.
