Abstract:
Switching circuits controllable to force an input into a circuit and to sense a responsively produced output in multiple ways to produce different combinations of positive and negative polarities of a desired signal and of sources of offsets and 1/f noise. The switching circuits are controlled in a non-ordered time sequence of different combinations of positive and negative polarities of the sources of the offsets and 1/f noise that spreads their energy to a frequency range above the desired signal frequency band. The non-ordered time sequence leaves the polarity of the desired signal unchanged. Uncorrelated delta-sigma modulators may generate the control signal. A DSP processes a resulting spectrum of a digital domain version of the sensed output to measure residual offsets and 1/f noise and adds to an input present at the DSMs a signal equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to the measured residual offsets and 1/f noise.
