  • Patent number: 9310269
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus may include a sense element that may measure a property such as, for example, pressure. The sense element may produce an output based on the measured property. Circuitry associated with the sense element may store a voltage that represents the output produced by the sense element. The circuitry may include, for example, a capacitor which may store the voltage. The stored voltage may include one or more parasitic components such as, for example, an offset voltage and/or voltage associated with current leakage. The circuitry may adjust the stored voltage to compensate for the parasitic components. The adjustment may occur over a series of phases of operation of the circuitry.
