Abstract: In a general aspect, a system can include a fully differential amplifier circuit that includes a first amplifier, and first and second feedback paths. The first feedback path can provide a feedback path from a positive output of the first amplifier to a negative input of the first amplifier. The second feedback path can provide a feedback path from a negative output of the first amplifier to a positive input of the first amplifier. The system can include a chopper clock circuit configured to output a variable duty cycle chopper clock signal. The system can include a common mode loop circuit including a second amplifier and chopper switches. The common mode loop circuit can be configured as a local feedback loop for the first amplifier. The chopper switches can be configured to receive the chopper clock signal and control current flow into the positive and negative inputs.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a circuit can include an input circuit configured to receive an input signal, and an amplifier circuit coupled with the input circuit. The amplifier circuit can include an amplifier, and first and second feedback paths. The first feedback path can be from a positive output to a negative input of the amplifier, and the second feedback path can be from a negative output to a positive input of the first amplifier. The circuit can also include a loop circuit configured to provide a local feedback loop for the first amplifier and configured to control current flow into the positive input of the first amplifier and current flow into the negative input of the first amplifier. The circuit can also include a control circuit that is configured to enable the loop circuit in response to a magnitude of the input signal exceeding a threshold.
