The switched-capacitor resistor circuit is coupled between the input of the amplifier and the output of the amplifier, and configured for simulating a feedback resistor element to provide a resistance for a feedback path of the amplifier by using at least one capacitor placed between the input of the amplifier and the output of the amplifier to avoid leakage current(s) flowing back to an input of the amplifier.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for compensating input offset of an amplifier having first and second amplifier output nodes. The method comprises generating a proportional-to-absolute temperature (PTAT) current, generating a complementary-to-absolute temperature (CTAT) current, and selecting, based on the input offset, one of the first and second amplifier output nodes into which a compensation current is to be coupled. The compensation current is based on a selected one of the PTAT current and CTAT current.

Calibration of continuous-time (CT) residue generation systems can account and compensate for mismatches in magnitude and phase that may be caused by fabrication processes, temperature, and voltage variations. In particular, calibration may be performed by providing one or more known test signals as an input to a CT residue generation system, analyzing the output of the system corresponding to the known input, and then adjusting one or more parameters of a forward and/or a feedforward path of the system so that the difference in transfer functions of these paths may be reduced/minimized. Calibrating CT residue generation systems using test signals may help decrease the magnitude of the residue signals generated by such systems, and, consequently, advantageously increase an error correction range of such systems or of further stages that may use the residue signals as input.
