You must show some effort at answering these questions before we can help you. Have you tried looking any of those terms up on www.wikipedia.org or just googling them?

The use of a buffer connection amplifier is to isolate or decouple the input signal from the output signal. This allows for the input signal to be transmitted without any distortion or attenuation to the output. It also helps to prevent loading effects on the input signal, which can affect the accuracy and stability of the output signal.

The common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is a measure of how well an op-amp can reject any common mode signals that are present on both of its inputs. It is expressed in decibels (dB) and a higher CMRR indicates a better ability to reject common mode signals. In op-amp applications such as difference amplifiers and instrumentation amplifiers, a high CMRR is important for accurate measurement and elimination of any unwanted noise or interference.

In a difference amplifier, the CMRR helps to reject any common mode signals that may be present in the input signals, allowing for a more accurate measurement of the difference between the two signals. In an instrumentation amplifier, the CMRR helps to eliminate any common mode signals that may be present in both the input and reference signals, resulting in a more accurate and stable output signal.

Some common applications of difference amplifiers include signal conditioning, amplification of small signals, and measurement of differential signals. Instrumentation amplifiers are commonly used in precision measurement and control systems, medical equipment, and data acquisition systems.

Overall, the use of buffer amplifiers and the control of common mode signals through CMRR are crucial in op-amp applications to ensure accurate and reliable signal processing.
