Abstract

In a general aspect, a system can include a fully differential amplifier circuit that includes a first amplifier, and first and second feedback paths. The first feedback path can provide a feedback path from a positive output of the first amplifier to a negative input of the first amplifier. The second feedback path can provide a feedback path from a negative output of the first amplifier to a positive input of the first amplifier. The system can include a chopper clock circuit configured to output a variable duty cycle chopper clock signal. The system can include a common mode loop circuit including a second amplifier and chopper switches. The common mode loop circuit can be configured as a local feedback loop for the first amplifier. The chopper switches can be configured to receive the chopper clock signal and control current flow into the positive and negative inputs.
