Zusammenfassung: | A circuit includes a first amplifier configured to amplify an input signal to generate an output signal. An offset sensor is configured to sense DC offset based on the output signal, where the offset sensor includes a second amplifier configured to generate an offset reduction signal for the first amplifier based on the sensed DC offset. A T-network in the circuit includes at least three resistors coupled to provide a feedback connection between the input signal and the output signal for the first amplifier and to receive the offset reduction signal to mitigate DC offset in the first amplifier. Since this method reduces the low-frequency component of the signal, it also shapes and reduces the flicker noise. |
