Abstract

See full text

An amplifier system can include a feedback amplifier circuit having an amplifier, a feedback capacitor connected between an input terminal and an output terminal of the amplifier by at least one first switch, and a reset capacitor connected across the feedback capacitor by at least one second switch and between a pair of reference voltages by at least one third switch. During an input-signal processing phase of operation, a control circuit may close the at least one first switch and open the at least one second switch to electrically connect the feedback capacitor between the input and output terminals to engage feedback processing by the feedback amplifier circuit, and close the third switch to electrically connect the reset capacitor between the first and second voltages to charge the reset capacitor to a selectable voltage difference. During a reset phase of operation, the control circuit may open the at least one third switch, close the at least one second switch and open the at least one first switch to electrically connect the reset capacitor across the feedback capacitor to reset the feedback capacitor using the reset capacitor. The amplifier system can optionally include a plurality of the feedback amplifier circuits.
