The present invention relates to a replica network (400) for linearizing switched capacitor circuits. A bridge circuit (406) with a MOSFET resistor (424) disposed in a resistor branch of the bridge circuit is provided. A noninverting terminal of an operational amplifier (408) is connected to a first node (B) of the bridge circuit and an inverting terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to a second note (D) of the bridge circuit. The second node is separated from the first node by another node (C) of the bridge circuit. An output of the operational amplifier (408) is provided to a gate terminal of the MOSFET resistor (424) and to the gate terminal of the MOSFET switch (204) in a switched capacitor circuit, thereby controlling the resistance of the MOSFET switch so that it is independent of the signal voltage. In this manner, the replica network of the present invention linearizes the switched capacitor circuit. In this manner, the replica network of the present invention linearizes the switched capacitor circuit.

The invention pertains to an improved method and circuit arrangement for signal processing. The invention is advantageously used for processing analog signals in applications in which low energy consumption is of the essence. An idea of the invention is to achieve an integrator topology where the active charge-transferring element is a preferably source-follower-type transistor in which one input terminal is arranged so as to be substantially independent of the input signal and in which the essential signal path elements of the circuit topology are connected in a fixed manner. The circuit arrangement according to the invention is realized preferably in such a manner that it comprises separate transistors for sampling and charge transfer. Thus it is possible to connect an input signal in a fixed manner to an input terminal of the sampling transistor, and an input terminal of the charge-transferring transistor can be connected in a fixed manner to a constant voltage. By using a signal processing circuit according to the invention it is possible to avoid circuit non-idealities caused by parasitic capacitances.

A rectifying and integrating circuit, particularly in a knock-detection system for an internal combustion engine, comprises an operational amplifier OA, an integrating capacitor C2 with one side connected to the amplifier output and its other side connected to the signal input of the amplifier, a first rectifying device D2 connecting the amplifier output to the one side (i.e. output side) of the integrating capacitor, and a second rectifying device D1 connecting the amplifier output to its signal input. The signal input current is balanced by feedback through one or other of the two paths D2, C2 and D1, depending on the polarity of the input. Integration occurs on one polarity in the absence of a rectifier amplifier preceding a separate integrator, errors due to input offset voltages of the rectifier amplifier are avoided.
