A current sensing topology uses an amplifier with capacitively coupled inputs in feedback to sense the input offset of the amplifier, which can be compensated for during measurement. The amplifier with capacitively coupled inputs in feedback is used to: operate the amplifier in a region where the input common-mode specifications are relaxed, so that the feedback loop gain and/or bandwidth is higher; operate the sensor from the converter input voltage by employing high-PSRR (power supply rejection ratio) regulators to create a local, clean supply voltage, causing less disruption to the power grid in the switch area; sample the difference between the input voltage and the controller supply, and recreate that between the drain voltages of the power and replica switches; and compensate for power delivery network related (PDN-related) changes in the input voltage during current sensing.

An offset compensated differential amplifier employing a multi-tan h circuit comprising differential pairs coupled in parallel to compensate for an offset voltage of the output voltage in the offset compensation calibration mode is disclosed. The differential pairs each include a compensation transistor coupled to the positive internal node and a reference transistor coupled to the negative internal node. Each compensation transistor receives the compensation control voltage and each reference transistor receives a different reference voltage. The multi-tan h circuit generates an offset compensation voltage on the positive and negative internal nodes based on a difference between the compensation control voltage and the different reference voltages. The multi-tan h circuit comprises a larger linear range than a hyperbolic tangent current transfer function of a single differential pair. The offset compensated differential amplifier provides offset compensation with improved linearity and a finer granularity compared to a conventional differential amplifier.
