Abstract: A signal amplification method includes receiving, from a capacitive sensor, a first input signal by a first control terminal of a first transistor, and a second input signal by a first control terminal of a second transistor. The method also includes producing a first output signal, including amplifying a first signal at a first load path terminal of the first transistor using a first inverting amplifier having an output coupled to a resistance network, and producing a second output signal, including amplifying a second signal at a first load path terminal of the second transistor using a second inverting amplifier having an output coupled to the resistance network. The method also includes feeding back the first and second output signal to a second load path terminal of the first transistor and to a second load path terminal of the second transistor via the resistance network according to a pre-determined fraction.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a cancelation circuit includes a current mirror and a low pass filter. The current mirror includes an input terminal configured to accept an input current comprising a first noise signal, a first mirrored output and a second mirrored output. The low pass filter includes an input coupled to the first mirrored output and an output coupled to the second mirrored output. A sum of a current from the second mirrored output and a current of from the output of the low pass filter includes a phase-inverted version of the first noise signal.
