Chopper stabilized amplifier with parallel notch filters

Abstract

A chopper stabilized amplifier includes a first transconductance amplifier, first chopping circuitry coupled to an input of the first transconductance amplifier for chopping an input signal and applying the chopped input signal to the input of the first transconductance amplifier, and second chopping circuitry coupled to an output of the first transconductance amplifier for chopping an output signal produced by the first transconductance amplifier. A ping-pong notch filter is connected to an output of the second chopping circuitry and performs an integrate and transfer function on a chopped output signal produced by the second chopping circuitry to filter ripple voltages. The ping-pong notch filter includes parallel connected first and second notch filters, each of which has an input coupled to the output of the second chopping circuitry.
