    Abstract: Charge to voltage conversion integrator circuitry for data acquisition front-end and other applications to provide a single-ended up a voltage using an input bias capacitance and a switching circuit to selectively place an input transistor in a negative feedback configuration in a first mode to charge the input bias capacitance to a calibration voltage for compensating integrator amplifier bias circuitry, with the switching circuit connecting an input node and the input bias capacitance in a second mode to integrate the input current signal across a feedback capacitance to provide a single-ended output voltage with the input bias capacitance maintaining a zero voltage at the input node.

    Abstract: A low noise amplifier for an RF sampling analog front end. The amplifier includes digital step attenuation for applying a selected attenuation to signals received at an input node, and a gain stage coupled to amplify the attenuated signal from the digital step attenuation circuit. In a differential amplifier implementation, a first input capacitor is coupled between a positive side input node and an output of the negative side digital attenuation circuit, and a second input capacitor is coupled between a negative side input node and an output of the positive side digital step attenuation circuit. In some embodiments, variable feedback circuits are coupled between each input node and an output of the corresponding gain stage, to selectively apply active termination at the input at high gain settings of the amplifier. Variable input and output resistors, and programmable noise filtering at the output, are provided in some embodiments.
