Abstract
A circuit comprises an amplifier, a first switch arranged between an amplifier input and an amplifier output, a first capacitor, a first resistor, a second switch, a third switch, a first converter coupled to the first amplifier output, a register storing a last digital value, a second converter converting the stored last digital value into a corresponding voltage value, and a control circuit. The control circuit charges the first capacitor to the corresponding voltage value by coupling a second converter output to a second capacitor terminal and switching on the first switch, or by coupling the second converter output to the first capacitor terminal and switching on the third switch; switches on the first switch and the second switch for providing the input voltage signal to the first capacitor; and switches on the third switch for determining a subsequent digital value of the converted output amplifier signal.
