Abstract

An amplifier circuit can have a differential input. A common-mode signal present at the differential input can induce an offset voltage at an output of the amplifier circuit. A compensation can be performed to reduce or eliminate such an offset, such as at a first temperature. Circuits and techniques for drift correction can be performed, such as to correct for residual offset error across an entirety of a specified operation temperature range. In an example, first and second drift correction signal generator circuits can be used, such as to provide signals proportional to a common mode voltage, but having different temperature coefficients.
