    Abstract: A high-voltage chopper-stabilized amplifier can include two paths to compensate for non-ideal electrical parameters. A first path, leading to a primary input of the amplifier, may include a first mux interface circuit to limit voltages at the primary input of the amplifier. A second path, leading to an auxiliary input of the amplifier, may include a chopper amplifier circuit. Despite the first mux interface circuit, a slew condition on the first path may excite a current in the second path that can negatively affect the signal source. Accordingly, the disclosed amplifier further includes a second mux interface circuit that can decouple the second path while a slew condition. The second mux interface circuit is driven by a window floating comparator, which is supplied according to the voltages on primary input. A settling enhancer circuit keeps, during slew condition, certain nodes on the second path at a reference voltage.

    Abstract: A method for adjusting common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and gain error of a current sense (CS) amplifier, comprising: measuring a first referred to input (RTI) offset voltage while presenting a given common mode (CM) input voltage; adding a first trim resistor of a plurality of selectable trim resistors within an adjustable feedback resistor chain to a feedback electrical path; measuring a second RTI offset voltage while presenting the given CM input voltage; estimating, based upon the first and second RTI offset voltages, a third RTI offset voltage value that would result by adding a second trim resistor of the plurality of selectable trim resistors to the feedback electrical path; using the first, second and third RTI offset voltage values to identify the combination of selectable trim resistors that achieves an RTI offset voltage closest to zero volts; and adding the identified selectable trim resistors to the feedback electrical path.

    Abstract: A differential operational transconductance amplifier, or DOTA, intended to be used in zero-drift precision operational amplifiers as chopper amplifier stage is disclosed. The DOTA is configured to function with a low-voltage power supply and to have good performance based on circuitry configured to provide a constant gain over a range of common-mode voltages, or VCM. The DOTA further includes bias circuitry configured to respond to the common mode voltage in order to prevent large currents, which can result from the constant gain circuitry, from negatively affecting performance. The DOTA further includes current sources that are configured to prevent temperature variations from negatively affecting performance. The DOTA further includes VCM-driven bias voltages used to optimize the operating point of the differential output stage. The DOTA uses input and input replica transistors having medium threshold voltage, which results in capability to operate at low supply voltages.
