Zusammenfassung:A low power, low noise amplifier system includes at least one amplifier having first and second differential input terminals, first and second differential output terminals and providing a differential output; first and second input capacitors interconnected with the first and second differential amplifier input terminals; first and second feedback circuits containing first and second feedback capacitors, respectively, interconnected with the amplifier differential input and output terminals; an input chopper switch circuit for receiving a low frequency differential input and selectively, alternately swapping those low frequency differential inputs through the input capacitors to the differential input terminals of the amplifier; an output chopper switch for receiving and selectively, alternately swapping the amplifier differential outputs synchronously with the input chopper switch circuit; and a low pass filter responsive to the swapped differential outputs for providing a low noise, low power amplification of the low frequency differential inputs.
