    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a chopped amplifier system where a ripple reduction filter placed outside of a main signal path is disclosed. The chopped amplifier system includes a chopped amplifier having an input terminal and an output terminal, where the input terminal receives an input signal and the output terminal provides an output signal including a ripple that is based on an offset voltage of the chopped amplifier. The ripple reduction filter is placed in a feedback loop path that receives a portion of the chopped amplifier's output signal and provides a feedback signal to the chopped amplifier that reduces the ripple at the output of the chopped amplifier. The ripple reduction filter includes a digital controller and other circuits that can handle large disturbances such as large signal slew rate events and large common-mode steps without reducing the effectiveness of the ripple reduction filter in reducing the ripple.
