  • Patent number: 11770109
    Abstract: An integrated circuit can include an amplifier coupled to receive an analog input signal, an anti-aliasing filter (AAF) coupled to an output of the amplifier, a buffer circuit coupled to an output of the AAF, a sigma-delta modulator configured to generate a digital data stream in response to an output of the buffer, and a plurality of chopping circuits nested within one another, including a first pair of chopping circuits having at least the amplifier disposed therebetween and configured to remove offset in the analog input signal, and a second pair of chopping circuit having at least the first pair of chopping circuits disposed therebetween. The amplifier, AAF, sigma-delta modulator, and chopping circuits can be formed with the same integrated circuit substrate. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10848170
    Abstract: A method can include, amplifying an analog input signal to generate an amplified analog signal; modulating the amplified analog signal into a digital data stream; filtering the digital data stream with a first digital filter to generate a first filtered data stream, and selectively changing a gain of the amplifier in response to the first filtered data stream. While the digital data stream is filtered with the first digital filter, the digital data stream is filtered with a second digital filter to generate a second filtered data stream. An output digital value corresponding to the analog input signal in response to the second filtered data stream. Corresponding systems and devices are also disclosed.
