    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to current control circuitry for controlling a current through a load, the current control circuitry comprising: amplifier circuitry; reference voltage generator circuitry configured to supply a fixed reference voltage to a first input of the amplifier circuitry; an output stage comprising: a control terminal coupled to an output of the amplifier circuitry; a current input terminal configured to be coupled to the load; a current output terminal; a clock-controlled variable resistance coupled to the current output terminal of the output stage, wherein a resistance of the variable resistance is based on a digital code input to the variable resistance; and a feedback path between the current output terminal of the output stage and a second terminal of the amplifier circuitry for providing a feedback voltage to a second input of the amplifier circuitry.

    Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a calibration circuit, an output of a subsystem comprising the sensor and the analog front end. The method may further include separating the output individually into the sensor offset and the amplifier offset by using inherent properties of separate frequency ranges for the sensor offset and the amplifier offset. The method may also include calibrating, by the calibration circuit, the sensor offset by determining a first calibration value for the sensor offset such that the output approximates zero during an idle-channel condition. The method may additionally include calibrating, by the calibration circuit, the amplifier offset by determining a second calibration value for the amplifier offset such that the output approximates zero during the idle-channel condition.

    Abstract: A method may include processing an analog input signal with a first processing path configured to generate a first digital signal based on the analog input signal; processing the analog input signal with a second processing path configured to generate a second digital signal based on the analog input signal, and adapting a response of an adaptive filter configured to generate a filtered digital signal from the second digital signal to reduce a difference between the filtered digital signal and the first digital signal. The method may additionally or alternatively include determining nonlinearities present in the second processing path based on comparison of the first digital signal and the second digital signal, and applying a linear correction to the second digital signal to generate a corrected second digital signal with decreased nonlinearity from that of the second digital signal.

    Abstract: A switched-capacitor delta-sigma data converter circuit includes compensation for voltage reference error that may cause non-linearity and inter-channel crosstalk. The circuit includes a voltage reference circuit, an integrator, a quantizer that quantizes the output of the integrator and a reference feedback switched-capacitor network that provides feedback charge quanta to the integrator that represents an output of the quantizer, so that the output of the quantizer, on average, represents an input signal provided to the integrator. In addition, a compensation switched-capacitor network is included for drawing dummy load charge quanta from the voltage reference output that is not provided to the integrator so that a total charge drawn from the voltage reference output when the reference feedback switched-capacitor network is coupled to the voltage reference output does not vary as the input voltage varies.
