Abstract

A circuit having a sensor with a stray capacitance value. An output from the sensor is connected to the input of an amplifier while a negative capacitance circuit is electrically connected in parallel with the sensor output. The negative capacitance circuit reduces the effect of the sensor stray capacitance to provide an increased bandwidth and decreased noise on the amplifier output.
