Method and apparatus pertaining to use of a switched voltage clamp with an x-ray detector amplifier

An x-ray detector amplifier operably couples to an analog-to-digital converter interface and a switched voltage clamp is operably disposed there between. By one approach, the switched voltage clamp comprises a switched electrical connection to a constant potential (such as, but not limited to, ground). These teachings will accommodate a control circuit configured to control the switched voltage clamp. This can comprise, for example, controlling the switched voltage clamp in synchronicity with the pulsed x-ray source. These teachings will also accommodate an integrator operably connected between the x-ray detector amplifier and the analog-to-digital converter interface. In such a case, the switched voltage clamp and be controlled to remove substantially any voltage offset contribution of the x-ray detector amplifier (due, for example, to significant temperature excursions) to a signal that is integrated by the aforementioned integrator.
