Summary :

This paper presents a response time acceleration technique in a high-gain capacitive-feedback frontend amplifier (FA) for high output impedance sensors. Using an auxiliary amplifier as a unity-gain buffer, a sample-and-hold capacitor which is used for band-limiting and sampling the FA output is driven at the beginning of the transient response to make the response faster and then it is re-charged directly by the FA output. A condition and parameters for the response time acceleration using this technique while maintaining the noise level unaffected are discussed. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the response time can be less than half of the case without the acceleration technique for the specified settling error of less than 0.5%.
