An amplification circuit for implementation in sensors such as photodetectors and other devices, and related method of amplification, are disclosed. In some embodiments, the amplification circuit includes a first amplifier that receives an input signal at least indirectly from a photosensitive device and provides an amplified signal based upon the input signal, where each the amplified signal at least includes a time-varying signal component, and a recovery circuit that receives the amplified signal and provides an output signal indicative of at least a portion of the time-varying signal component of the amplified signal. The recovery circuit includes a current splitting component that operates to generate negative and positive signals indicative respectively of negative and positive portions of the time-varying signal component, and the negative and positive signals are generated in a manner such that there are no substantial discontinuities between those signals at crossover points between those signals.
