3 Op-Amp Differential Instrumentation Amp
This is the best Instrumentation OpAmp, Great CMRR,
ensure supply has no ripple and keep analog and digital grounds
separate. Ri can be replaced with a trimpot and resistor to alter gain.
Connect a preset ends to pins 1 and 8 and preset wiper to VCC for
Offset Null when high gains are configured.
The Input zeners and diodes form a protective clamp for all voltages
above VCC-VDD. If supply is changed to +12 -12 change zeners to 12V
zeners. Use similar Zeners at output to protect Output from being
zapped by overvoltages or high energy - voltage*frequency transients.
Add plastic capacitors across Rf for damping AC operation or ripple.
Also avoid floating inputs by providing a bias.

Vout = (Vp - Vn) * (2Rf+Ri)/Ri
