Analog signal conditioning and digitizing integrated circuit

摘要

An analog signal conditioning and digitizing integrated circuit is provided having a multiplying digital to analog converter means (MDAC) including a gain capacitor array and an offset capacitor array, an operational amplifier, a feedback circuit including a feedback capacitor and a feedback clamping transistor, the operational amplifier and feedback circuit connected to the gain and offset capacitor arrays for setting the gain and the amount of offset correction of the MDAC, a correlated double sample circuit including a series capacitor connected to the operational amplifier and a series clamping transistor connected to the junction of the series capacitor and a buffer amplifier for sampling the noise to be substracted and/or nulled across the series capacitor, and an analog to digital converter operatively connected to the MDAC for digitizing the output of the MDAC. In other embodiments the integrated circuit has separate bond pads for the analog signal inputs and outputs of the MDACs and DACs or for implementing feedback/feedforward discrete time transfer functions.
