    摘要: A sensor device includes: first sensors; second sensors which form capacitances with the first sensors; a sensor transmitter connected to the first sensors, where the sensor transmitter supplies driving signals to the first sensors; and a sensor receiver connected to the second sensors, where the sensor receiver receives sensing signals from the second sensors, and the sensor receiver includes a band pass filter which filters the sensing signals. The band pass filter includes: a first integrator including a first amplifier; a first high pass filter converter connected to a first input terminal, a second input terminal and a first output terminal of the first amplifier, where the first high pass filter converter time-divisionally provides N high pass filter conversion paths; and a first gain auxiliary component connected to the first input terminal and the first output terminal of the first amplifier while the first integrator performs an integral function.

    摘要: A notch filter is controlled synchronously with a chopper to filter out chopping ripple. In one embodiment, the notch filter is coupled to the differential output of the chopper and includes a sampling capacitor, a hold capacitor, and a second set of switches between the sampling capacitor and the hold capacitor. The second set of switches is temporarily closed once per chopper switching cycle to transfer charge from the sampling capacitor to the hold capacitor such that the ripple from the chopper is not transferred to the hold capacitor. The voltage across the hold capacitor may be coupled to any other circuit, such as to the differential inputs of an amplifier.

    摘要: A capacitor structure is described. The capacitor structure includes a substrate, a plurality of source/drain regions, a first plurality gates, and a second plurality of gates. The plurality of source/drain regions is formed in the substrate. The first and second plurality of gates is formed above the substrate. Each gate of the first and second plurality of gates has a gate width. The gate widths are configured to be less than an active area width and each gate of the first and second plurality of gates is formed between a pair of the source/drain regions of the plurality of source/drain regions. And, each gate of the first plurality of gates is configured to be in line with a corresponding gate of the second plurality of gates to form a head-to-head gate configuration.

    摘要: A discrete time (DT) lowpass filter having various advantages is described. In an exemplary design, the DT lowpass filter includes a decimating DT filter (which may include a passive DT FIR filter and/or a passive DT IIR filter) and an active DT filter. The decimating DT filter receives a first DT signal at a first sample rate, filters and decimates the first DT signal by a factor of N, and provides a second DT signal at a second sample rate lower than the first sample rate. N may be greater than one. The active DT filter filters the second DT signal and provides a third DT signal at the second sample rate. A sampler samples a continuous time signal and provides the first DT signal. The sampler may further double the voltage of the first DT signal relative to the voltage of the continuous time signal.

    摘要: A chopper stabilized amplifier with synchronous switched capacitor noise filtering is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes a chopper amplifier having an input that receives an input signal and an output that outputs an amplified signal. The chopper amplifier includes an input chopping circuit and an output chopping circuit, where the input and output chopping circuits operate in response to a chop clock. The apparatus also includes a switched capacitor filter having an input that receives the amplified signal and an output that outputs a filtered signal. The switched capacitor filter operates in response to a filter clock. The apparatus also includes a filter timing adjuster that receives a reference voltage and adjusts a phase of the filter clock with respect to the chop clock to reduce chopper noise on that reference voltage.
