In certain embodiments, a chopper amplifier includes chopper amplifier circuitry including an input chopping circuit, an amplification circuit, and an output chopping circuit electrically connected along a signal path. The amplification circuit includes two or more pairs of input transistors, from which a control circuit chooses a selected pair of input transistors to amplify an input signal. The chopper amplifier further incudes an offset correction circuit that senses the signal path to generate an input offset compensation signal for the amplification circuit. Furthermore, the offset correction circuit separately tracks an input offset of each of the two or more pairs of input transistors.

    摘要: A single-ended operational amplifier uses a plurality of chopper circuits (9, 16, 24) to alternately transpose matched transistor pairs for cancelling offset errors due to transistor mismatches from statistical process variations. The differential input signals are transposed while simultaneously transposing the currents in a current mirror (14, 15) and in the load devices (37). The matched devices comprising an output stage (36) remain untransposed since their contribution to offset error is minimal but their contribution to noise error would be substantial due to the potentially larger voltage differentials existing between them.

    摘要: A switchable analogue signal inverter suitable for inverting an input D.C. voltage as required, for example inverting the D.C. voltage from a digital to analogue converter (DAC) and thereby halving the size of the DAC.
    Essentially the inverter comprises a capacitor (C) having one side alternately switchable between a reference voltage point and an output terminal (30) and another side alternately switchable between the reference voltage point and an input signal terminal (18) and switching means (S1, S2) for selectively reversing the phasing of the switching between the reference voltage and the input signal.
    In one embodiment the inverter comprises a double pole reversing switch (51, S2) having inputs (20 to 23) connected to a signal input terminal (18) and to a reference voltage point (ground) and a capacitor (C) connected by a change-over switch (S3) to first and second outputs of the reversing switch (S1, S2) and by another change-over switch (S4) to a signal output terminal (30) or to the reference voltage point. The reversing switch is operable in response to a polarity change signal (24) to reverse the signal applied to the first and second outputs and thereby determine the polarity of the voltage pumped by the capacitor (C) to the output terminal (30) by clocking the change-over switches (S3 S4). The switches may be implemented by field effect transistors
