Many industrial and medical applications use instrumentation amplifiers (INA) to condition small signals in the presence of large common-mode voltages and DC potentials.

Discrete approaches exist to detect these faults, but these approaches can affect system performance. A variety of failures can occur between the sensor and the instrumentation amplifier (Fig.
