The modulation technique transposes the signal to a higher frequency where there is no 1/f noise, and

signal.

3.

This signal is then demodulated (Chop2), but since the noise and the offset are modulated only once, they

are transposed to the high frequency, leaving the output signal of the amplifier without any offset and low

frequency noise. Consequently, the input signal is amplified with a very low offset and 1/f noise.

4.

To get rid of the high frequency part of the output signal (which is useless) a low pass filter is implemented.

To further suppress the remaining ripple down to a desired level, another low pass filter may be added externally

on the output of the TSZ18x.

5.2

Operating voltages

The TSZ18x device can operate from 2.2 to 5.5 V. The parameters are fully specified for 2.2 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V

curves show the TSZ18x device characteristics at 2.2 V and 5.5 V. Additionally, the main specifications are

guaranteed in extended temperature ranges from -40 to 125 °C.

5.3

Input pin voltage ranges

The TSZ18x device has internal ESD diode protection on the inputs. These diodes are connected between the

input and each supply rail to protect the input MOSFETs from electrical discharge.
