An instrumentation amplifier includes first (11A) and second (12A) input amplifiers having outputs (15A,B) coupled to an output amplifier (13). A first auto-zero stage (20) in the first input amplifier is auto-zeroed to a first voltage level (VREFL), a first input signal (Vin+) is amplified by a second auto-zero stage (24) in the first input amplifier, and the amplified first input signal is coupled to the output amplifier, during a first phase (A). A third auto-zero stage (44) in the second input amplifier is auto-zeroed to a second voltage level (VREFH), a second input signal (Vin-) is amplified by a fourth auto-zero stage (40) in the second input amplifier, and the amplified second input signal is coupled to the output amplifier, during a second phase (B). The second auto-zero stage is auto-zeroed to the first voltage level, the first input signal is amplified by the first auto-zero stage (20), and the amplified first input signal is coupled to the output amplifier, during a third phase (C). The fourth auto-zero stage is auto-zeroed to a the second voltage level, the second input signal is amplified by the third auto-zero stage, and the amplified second input signal is coupled to the output amplifier, during a fourth phase (D).
