Abstract
A differential current conveyor circuit includes two or more single-ended current conveyor stages and a common bias stage. First and second switches are set between the control terminals of the transistors in the common bias stage and a respective one of a first and a second coupling line of the single ended stages can be switched between the following: a reset state of the circuit with the transistors in the common bias stage coupled to the first and second coupling lines with the single-ended stages set to a bias condition; and a sensing state of the circuit with the transistors in the common bias stage decoupled from the first and second coupling lines, with the single-ended stages in a high impedance state with the control terminals of the input transistors of the single ended stages capacitively coupled to the input terminal.
