摘要: An integrating circuit includes an operational amplifier and capacitor which is decoupled from the output of precharged to a positive reference voltage before each integration cycle. During cycle decreases toward but not below ground. This allows be included as front-end integrator delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter that powered only by single power supply. In described embodiment, coupled input auto-zeroing stage provides negative feedback stabilize when disconnected during precharging bandwidth control couples larger compensation capacitance reduce RMS noise. correlated double sampling discharged zero while kT/C error charge injection voltages opposite polarity are stored on both capacitor. The switched into in series with automatically cancel present more accurate converter.
