    Abstract: The present invention comprises switched capacitor amplifiers including positive feedback on semiconductor devices, wafers, and systems incorporating same and methods for amplifying signals using positive feedback, while maintaining a stable gain and producing an improved signal-to-noise ratio. One embodiment includes a switched capacitor amplifier comprising a CMOS amplifier, a feed-in switched capacitor, and a feedback switched capacitor. The feed-in switched capacitor couples an input signal to the non-inverting input of the CMOS amplifier. Similarly, the feedback switched capacitor couples the amplifier output to the non-inverting input to create a positive feedback loop. A capacitance of the feedback switched capacitor relative to a capacitance of the feed-in switched capacitor comprises a feedback proportion. This feedback proportion may be configured to maintain a stable gain of the switched capacitor amplifier and increase a signal-to-noise ratio of the switched capacitor amplifier, even with the switched capacitor amplifier in a positive feedback arrangement.

    Abstract: An amplifier circuit is disclosed that allows for practical integrated circuit implementation of a dc-blocked, low-noise differential amplifier capable of amplifying ultra low-frequency signals and amplitudes ranging upwards of a few microvolts. DC-blocking capacitors having a capacitance value close to that of the effective input capacitance of the low-noise amplifier's inputs can be used by incorporating a positive feedback mechanism that tracks any variations in the amplifier gain or integrated circuit's technology process and lowers or cancels the input parasitic capacitances. Advantageously, the parasitic capacitance of transistors, typically field effect transistors, located on an integrated circuit chip are used in the feedback mechanism. This reduces the capacitive voltage division loss of the signal at the input of the amplifier while still allowing for the use of very small values of dc-blocking capacitance. No other active elements other than the amplifier itself are required to attain a low area, integrated circuit implementation of a dc-blocked, yet ultra low-frequency high pass filtered, low-noise amplifier.
