09929705 · 2018-03-27 · ·

A low distortion transconductance amplifier provides current to a grounded load using a virtual ground input stage, a pair of current mirrors, and a bias current source. The virtual ground input stage may include transistors arranged as a Darlington pair. The low distortion transconductance amplifier can function as a voltage-controlled AC current source that is operable at high frequencies.

Delta modulator receive channel for capacitance measurement circuits

A circuit, system, and method for measuring capacitance are described. A current may be received at an input of a conversion circuit. The current may be converted to a voltage signal which may be used to create a negative feedback current to the input of the conversion circuit and which may be demodulated digitally to provide a static digital output representative of a capacitance.
