Abstract :
A new amplifier is presented which performs charge signal amplification from capacitive sources. The feedback network, providing DC stabilisation and continuous system reset, is made by a current conveyor based on total current reuse. This new solution allows easy tuning of the return-to-zero time constant with significantly lower noise than in conventional amplifiers with feedback resistors
