The circuit depicted in the figure features a programmable amplifier utilizing the PGA204/205 operational amplifiers in conjunction with the OPA602. The OPA602 op-amp is configured to establish a feedback reference point, while external components, specifically the capacitor C1 and resistor R1, contribute to the AC characteristics of the circuit. The -3 dB frequency is determined by the equation f-3dB = 1/(2πR1C1), resulting in a cutoff frequency of approximately 1.59 Hz. This configuration effectively forms an AC-coupled instrumentation amplifier. Gain settings for the circuit are controlled via the A0 and A1 pins of the PGA204/205, allowing for the amplification of the input signal, which is subsequently output from the PGA204/205.

The described circuit integrates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and an operational amplifier (OPA) to create a versatile instrumentation amplifier with specific AC coupling characteristics. The PGA204/205 series offers configurable gain settings through digital control, enabling precise adjustments for various applications. The OPA602, known for its high-speed and low-noise performance, serves as the core amplification component.

In the configuration, the feedback loop established by the OPA602 ensures stability and linearity in the amplification process. The external components, C1 and R1, play a crucial role in determining the frequency response of the amplifier. The calculated -3 dB point of 1.59 Hz indicates that the amplifier is optimized for low-frequency signal processing, making it suitable for applications such as sensor signal conditioning or biomedical instrumentation.

The gain settings provided by A0 and A1 allow for multiple gain configurations, enhancing the amplifier's adaptability to different input signal levels. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in environments where signal amplitudes may vary significantly. The output from the PGA204/205 can be further processed or utilized in subsequent stages of a signal processing chain, depending on the overall system requirements.

Overall, the combination of the PGA204/205 and OPA602 in this AC-coupled instrumentation amplifier configuration offers a robust solution for low-frequency signal amplification with programmable gain capabilities, suitable for a wide range of electronic applications.
