Hi folks,
I redesigned a 2-stage amplifier but am told to add chopping to it to fight the 1/f noise. I have read about chopping and it's advantages (Enz papers) but they seem too theoretical and have difficulties translating it to *me* using it. I have a snapshot of an existing design where chopping was applied and it is attached to this image.
If you have any insight or a tutorial/paper that can help describe the chopping and how it removes the flicker noise, I'd greatly appreciate if you shared. The box "X" represents chopping block consisting of cross switches that swap connections every clock cycle using ph1/ph2 (non-overlapped clocks).
Thanks,
Regards,
