An Auto-Zero Stabilized Voltage Buffer with a Quiet Chopping Scheme and Constant Input Current

The readout of high-impedance sensors and sampled voltage references [1] requires amplifiers that can achieve both low offset and low input current. Recently, it has been shown that this unique combination can be achieved by an auto-zero (AZ) stabilized buffer [2]. However, its low-frequency noise density is surd 5 times higher than the...

A ±4A high-side current sensor with 25V input CM range and 0.9% gain error from -40°C to 85°C using an analog temperature compensation technique

This paper presents a fully integrated ±4A current sensor that supports a 25V input common-mode voltage range (CMVR) while operating from a single 1.5V supply. It consists of an on-chip metal shunt, a beyond-the-rails ADC [1] and a temperature-dependent voltage reference. The beyond-the-rails ADC facilitates high-side current sensing without...
