    Abstract: A switched-capacitor circuit comprising a differential operational amplifier and a feedback circuit is described. In some embodiments, the feedback circuit may be configured to provide a reference voltage that is insensitive to temperature and/or process variations. In some embodiments, the feedback circuit may be configured to mitigate the time delay associated with one or more capacitors of the switched-capacitor circuit. The switched-capacitor circuit may be controlled by a pair of control signals. During a first phase, one or more capacitors may be charged, or discharged, through an input signal. During a second phase, the electric charge of the one or more capacitors may be retained.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic integrated amplifier for driving an acoustic transducer. The amplifier comprises two differential input terminals to receive an input signal and a first and a second output terminal to provide an output signal to the transducer. In addition, the amplifier comprises an operational amplifier having an input end including differential inputs and an output end operatively associated with the first and second output terminals. A pair of input resistors connect the two differential input terminals to two intermediate terminals, respectively. A pair of feedback resistors connect the first and second output terminals to the two intermediate terminals, respectively. The integrated amplifier also comprises means for high-pass filtering the input signal. Such filtering means is characterized in that it comprises an input element interposed between said intermediate terminals and the input end of the operational amplifier, and a feedback element connected between the input end and the output end of the same operational amplifier.

    Abstract: A class D amplifier receives and amplifies a differential analog signal which is then differentially integrated. Two pulse width modulators generate pulse signals corresponding to the differentially integrated analog signal and two power units generate output pulse signals. The outputs the power units are coupled to input terminals of integrators via a resistor feedback network. An analog output unit converts the pulse signals to an output analog signal. The differential integration circuitry implements a soft transition between mute/un-mute. In mute, the integrator output is fixed. During the soft transition, the PWM outputs change slowly from a fixed 50% duty cycle to a final value to ensure that no pop noise is present in the output as a result of mode change.

    Abstract: An amplifier circuit is disclosed that allows for practical integrated circuit implementation of a dc-blocked, low-noise differential amplifier capable of amplifying ultra low-frequency signals and amplitudes ranging upwards of a few microvolts. DC-blocking capacitors having a capacitance value close to that of the effective input capacitance of the low-noise amplifier's inputs can be used by incorporating a positive feedback mechanism that tracks any variations in the amplifier gain or integrated circuit's technology process and lowers or cancels the input parasitic capacitances. Advantageously, the parasitic capacitance of transistors, typically field effect transistors, located on an integrated circuit chip are used in the feedback mechanism. This reduces the capacitive voltage division loss of the signal at the input of the amplifier while still allowing for the use of very small values of dc-blocking capacitance. No other active elements other than the amplifier itself are required to attain a low area, integrated circuit implementation of a dc-blocked, yet ultra low-frequency high pass filtered, low-noise amplifier.
