ABSTRACT:
A technique for stabilization and calibration of precision analog circuit components such as amplifiers. A sample and hold circuit is placed in the feedback loop of the component. The input of the component is periodically coupled to reference voltage while the sample and hold circuit is set to a sample mode. Any offset voltage at the output of the component is then fed, through the sample and hold circuit, back to a summing node formed at the input, and thus automatically canceled. This sequence is periodically repeated at convenient times, to keep the sample and hold circuit properly charged, and to compensate for changes in operating conditions over time.
The transfer function of the component can be determined by a circuit which periodically measures its response to a series of known input voltages. The exact value of the voltage input to the component is known, since any offset is automatically canceled by the operation of the sample and hold circuit. After the response of the component to a number of inputs is measured in this way, its transfer function is determined using a method such as LaGrangian interpolation. During normal operation of the component on the analog input signal, the computer then converts measured outputs to the interpolated values.
