A method includes providing a first voltage to a first output node during a first time interval, providing a second voltage to the first output node during a second time interval, and averaging the first and second voltages to provide a reference voltage to a second output node. The first voltage includes a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) component, a complementary-to-absolute-temperature (CTAT) component, and a first residual offset component. The second voltage includes the PTAT component, the CTAT component, and a second residual offset component. An apparatus includes a discrete-time circuit to provide the first voltage to the first output node during the first time interval and to provide the second voltage to the first output node during the second time interval, and a filter to average the first and second voltages to provide the reference voltage to the second output node.

An offset-cancellation circuit having a first amplification stage with a gain of the first amplification stage and configured to receive an offset voltage of a first amplifier. A storage element is configured to be coupled to and decoupled from the first amplification stage and configured to store a potential difference output by the first amplification stage. The potential difference is determined by the offset voltage of the first amplifier and the gain of the first amplification stage. A second amplification stage is coupled to the storage element and configured to receive the potential difference from the storage element when the storage element is decoupled from the first amplification stage and configured to deliver an offset-cancellation current. The offset-cancellation current is determined by the potential difference and a gain of the second amplification stage.

An amplifier circuit comprising: a first-stage residue-reduction storage unit; a final-stage residue-reduction storage unit; and a switching network. The switching network is operable to control the amplifier circuit according to the following operational configurations: a first residue-reduction configuration; a second residue-reduction configuration; and an operational configuration. Such an amplifier circuit uses a low number of residue-reduction steps to reduce global residual voltage to a very low level when the amplifier circuit is subsequently used in the operational configuration.
