Techniques for controlling an auto-zero amplifier
This disclosure describes auto-zero amplifier circuit that include an additional capacitor (or other capacitive component) that can be switchably coupler to a reference voltage. The auto-zero amplifier circuit can generate an auto-zero compensation signal using a difference between the reference voltage stored on the additional capacitor and a voltage stored on another auto-zero capacitor.
Hybrid autozeroing and chopping offset cancellation for switched-capacitor circuits
A system has an output and receives an input signal. An operational amplifier has an input, an output and an offset at the input. A switched capacitor network samples the input signal at a switched capacitor frequency. An autozeroing capacitor connected to the input of the operational amplifier captures the offset during an offset capture interval according to an autozeroing frequency. Chopping and autozeroing switches, connected between the autozeroing capacitor and the switched capacitor network, chop the sampled input signal according to a chopping frequency and autozero the captured offset according to the autozeroing frequency. De-chopping switches, connected between the output of the operational amplifier and the output of the system, operate on the output of the operational amplifier at the chopping frequency to chop the autozeroed captured offset and de-chop the chopped sampled input signal processed by the operational amplifier.
Signal error calibrating method
A signal error calibrating method is disclosed herein and includes following steps: filtering an error voltage in a sensor by a low pass filter in a calibration mode; converting the offset voltage to be a digital offset signal by an analog digital signal converter; converting the digital offset signal to be an offset calibrating signal by a digital analog signal converter; transmitting the offset calibrating signal to an input end of the sensor so as to offset an error voltage at the input end of the sensor. After calibrating the error voltage, the analog digital converter in the error calibrating circuit can be used for the need of signal output and the low pass filter is turned off at the same time.
