Patent attributes
An auto-zero circuit is disclosed. The auto-zero circuit includes a first set of circuits for implementing a first auto-zero phase and a second set of circuits for implementing a second auto-zero phase. The first set of circuits includes a first differential amplifier and a first feedback path coupled between an output of the first differential amplifier and an input of the first differential amplifier. The second set of circuits includes a second differential amplifier and a second feedback path coupled between an output of the second differential amplifier and an input of the first differential amplifier, where the second feedback path includes an attenuation capacitor for reducing charge injection error and noise error of the auto-zero circuit and a holding capacitor for holding a voltage to be used to correct charge injection error introduced by the first feedback path.
