    Abstract: An amplifier circuit (AC) for amplifying an output signal (OS) of a capacitive sensor (M) comprises a first input terminal (AIN) to receive the output signal (OS) of the capacitive sensor (M) and a second input terminal (BIN) to receive a bias voltage (Vbias) of the capacitive sensor (M). The amplifier circuit (AC) comprises an amplifier (A) for amplifying the output signal (OS) and a control circuit (CF) arranged in a feedback loop (FL) of the amplifier (A) being configured to control a DC voltage level at an input connection (A1) of the amplifier (A). A bias voltage sensing circuit (BVS) senses a change of the level of the bias voltage (Vbias) at the second input terminal (BIN) and changes the bandwidth of the feedback loop (FL) in dependence on the sensed change of the level of the bias voltage (Vbias).

    Abstract: A low-headroom current driver does not use an op amp or resistor. A sensing transistor (54) having its source connected to a drain of an output transistor (56) senses variations in an output current (i_OUT). The gate, source, and drain voltages of the sensing transistor (54) are mirrored to a sense mirror transistor (44) to control a sense current. The sense current is mirrored to a reference source transistor (20) to generate a mirrored sense current. An error between the mirrored sense current and a fixed reference current is stored as charge on an error-storing capacitor (60). The stored error charge creates a negative-feedback compensation current that adjusts a gate voltage generated by a feedback-driving transistor (36). The adjusted gate voltage controls the gate of the output transistor (56) to compensated using a sense-mirror tail transistor (46) connected to the sense mirror transistor (44).

    Abstract: A direct current (DC) bias maintenance circuit operably couples to the input of a primary amplifier. The DC bias maintenance circuit employs feedback to maintain the desired DC bias but lacks any coupling to the output of the primary amplifier. By one approach the DC bias maintenance circuit includes a secondary amplifier that replicates at least some near real-time performance characteristics of the primary amplifier. For example, the secondary amplifier can replicate at least certain DC properties of the primary amplifier such that DC-based changes appearing at the output of the primary amplifier are mirrored at an output of the secondary amplifier notwithstanding a lack of any coupling between the output of the primary amplifier and the DC bias maintenance circuit.
