Abstract
This paper proposes a local feedback, named auto correction feedback (ACFB), used in a chopper amplifier to suppress its offset related ripple. It nulls out amplifier´s offset in DC domain which would otherwise become modulated ripple at the chopper amplifier´s output, instead of filtering the ripple by a post filter. The proposed chopper amplifier with the ACFB achieves 45 dB ripple attenuation without introducing noise penalty, which has been proved by both simulation and measurement.
