Abstract: A method may include, in an apparatus comprising a closed loop amplifier and a signal processing block configured to generate an amplifier input signal as a function of an upstream signal received at an input of the signal processing block, in a calibration mode of the apparatus: decoupling a second stage input of the amplifier from a first stage output of the amplifier; determining an offset signal that when applied to the input of a signal processing block as the upstream signal generates approximately zero as an intermediate signal generated by the first stage of the amplifier; and controlling one or more parameters of the apparatus based on the offset signal to compensate for an offset of at least one of the first stage and the signal processing block.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to self-test circuitry for a system that includes one or more current control subsystems, each current control subsystem having a load terminal for coupling the current control subsystem to a load. The self-test circuitry comprises: a signal path associated with each current control subsystem, each signal path configured to selectively couple a measurement node to the load terminal of the current control subsystem, wherein the measurement node is common to all of the signal paths; voltage detection circuitry; and test voltage source circuitry configured to provide a test voltage to the measurement node. The voltage detection circuitry is operable to output a signal indicative of a fault condition if a voltage detected at the measurement node differs from the test voltage when the measurement node is coupled to the load terminal.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a processing system may include a plurality of processing paths and a controller. The plurality of processing paths may include a static processing path configured to generate a first digital signal based on an analog input signal and a dynamic processing path configured to generate a second digital signal based on the analog input signal, wherein a parameter of the dynamic processing path is determined based on a characteristic of the analog input signal. The controller may be configured to select the first digital signal as a digital output signal of the processing system when a change is occurring to the characteristic and select the second digital signal as the digital output signal in the absence of change occurring to the characteristic.

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.

The processing paths may include a first processing path configured to generate a first digital signal based on an analog input signal and one or more other processing paths each configured to consume a smaller amount of power than the first processing path, and each configured to generate a respective digital signal based on the analog input signal, wherein one of the other processing paths has a noise floor based on fidelity characteristics of the analog input signal or subsequent processing requirements of a digital output signal generated from at least one of the first digital signal and the respective digital signals. The controller may be configured to select one of the first digital signal and the respective digital signals as the digital output signal of the processing system based on a magnitude of the analog input signal.
