    Abstract: A system may include a plurality of sensors configured to sense a physical quantity and a calibration subsystem configured to perform a calibration comprising: comparing a measured characteristic from each of at least two sensors of the plurality of sensors to determine a sensitivity drift of at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors; based on the measured characteristics of the at least two sensors and stored reference characteristics for the at least two sensors, calculating a normalization factor; and applying the normalization factor to the measured characteristic of the at least one sensor to ensure sensitivity of the plurality of sensors relative to each other remains approximately constant.

    Abstract: An amplifier system may include a first feedback loop coupled between an output of an amplifier to an input of a modulator for regulating an output voltage driven at the output of the amplifier to a first terminal of a load of the amplifier system, a sense resistor for sensing a physical quantity associated with the amplifier, a second control loop coupled to the sense resistor such that the sense resistor is outside of the second control loop, the second control loop configured to regulate a common-mode voltage at a second terminal of the load, and a common-mode feedforward circuit coupled to the sense resistor and configured to minimize effects of a signal-dependent common-mode feedback of the sense resistor.

    Abstract: Circuitry for driving a load, the circuitry comprising: driver circuitry; load sensing circuitry; and a parameter estimation engine, wherein the circuitry is operable in: a driving mode of operation in which the driver circuitry supplies a drive signal to a load coupled to the circuitry; and a load sensing mode of operation, for estimating a characteristic of a load coupled to the circuitry based on a signal output by the load sensing circuitry in response to a stimulus signal supplied to the driver circuitry, and wherein the circuitry is operable to perform a calibration operation in which the parameter estimation engine generates a circuit parameter for use in the load sensing mode based, at least in part, on a signal generated by the circuitry in response to a calibration stimulus signal supplied to the driver circuitry.
