Abstract
A demodulation device () in semiconductor technology is disclosed. The device () is capable of demodulating an injected modulated current. The device () comprises an input node (IN), a sampling stage (DG, IG, GS, IG, DG) and at least two output nodes (D, D). The sampling stage DG, IG, GS, IG, DG) comprises transfer means (GL, GM, GR) for transferring a modulated charge-current signal from the input node (IN) to one of the output nodes (D, D) allocated to the respective time interval within the modulation period. The small size and the ability to reproduce the device () in standard semiconductor technologies make possible a cost-efficient integration of the device ().
