Abstract
A current mode chopper amplifier is used to convert low dc current flowing in a resistive element into ac for signal processing to eliminate drift and noise. The ac signal is then converted back to dc as output. The input circuit for the chopper is an operational amplifier driving a pass transistor and serving also as a voltage follower, which drives the resistive element. A polarizing voltage is applied to the input of the operational amplifier, and followed by the resistive element. The current in the resistive element flows through the pass transistor to the chopper, but not through the polarizing voltage source.
