Bias switch circuit for compensating frontend offset of high accuracy measurement circuit
Disclosed is a high accurate measurement circuit, and the feature is using bias switching circuit for compensating front end offset, and the back end offset of amplifier is also cancelled. In the real measurement environment, offset exists in the amplifier of the measurement circuit has, and non-ideal effects also exist in the interface between measurement terminal and the measurement circuit, such as leakage current of chip package pins or mismatch of the circuit. The above non-ideal effects belong to front end offset and cannot be compensated by the prior arts. The disclosed structure uses the bias switch circuit and uses different switching method in the two measurement timings. By subtracting the measurement results for the two measurement timings, the front end offset is compensated, and the back end offset of the amplifier is also cancelled.

Amplifier offset and compensation
An apparatus includes a first amplifier, a second amplifier, and a compensation-setting generator to generate a first amplifier compensation setting and second amplifier compensation setting. A controller is operable to: i) apply the first amplifier compensation setting to the first amplifier and apply the second amplifier compensation setting to the second amplifier. The controller is further operable to switch between generating updates to the first amplifier compensation setting and the second amplifier compensation setting.
