    摘要: A high-voltage chopper-stabilized amplifier can include two paths to compensate for non-ideal electrical parameters. A first path, leading to a primary input of the amplifier, may include a first mux interface circuit to limit voltages at the primary input of the amplifier. A second path, leading to an auxiliary input of the amplifier, may include a chopper amplifier circuit. Despite the first mux interface circuit, a slew condition on the first path may excite a current in the second path that can negatively affect the signal source. Accordingly, the disclosed amplifier further includes a second mux interface circuit that can decouple the second path while a slew condition. The second mux interface circuit is driven by a window floating comparator, which is supplied according to the voltages on primary input. A settling enhancer circuit keeps, during slew condition, certain nodes on the second path at a reference voltage.
