Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated amplification circuit for a transducer signal comprising a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate comprises a signal limiting network comprising first and second parallel legs coupled between an input of a preamplifier and a first predetermined electric potential of the integrated amplification circuit. The first leg comprises a plurality of cascaded semiconductor diodes coupled to conduct current in a first direction through the limiting network and the second leg comprises a plurality of cascaded semiconductor diodes coupled to conduct current in a second direction through the limiting network. A current blocking member is configured to break a parasitic current path between an anode or a cathode of a semiconductor diode of the first leg or the second leg and the semiconductor substrate.
