To provide an amplifier which reduces a residual offset by reducing a glitch noise.SOLUTION: An amplifier 1A includes two auto zero amplifiers 21A, 22A mutually connected in parallel. The auto zero amplifiers 21A, 22A are provided to be switchable to: an offset calibration mode in which, after an output end is separated from an output of a transconductance amplifier 201, a calibration signal of reducing an offset component and a low frequency noise component of the transconductance amplifier 201 is sampled; an amplification mode in which, after the output end is connected to the output of the transconductance amplifier 201, the output of the transconductance amplifier 201 having the reduced offset component and low frequency noise component by the calibration signal, is output from the output end; and a glitch calibration mode in which, in a state that the output end is separated from the output of the transconductance amplifier 201, the output of the transconductance amplifier 201 is approached to the output of the output end.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Disclosed is an implantable device for controllably delivering neural stimuli. The device comprises a pulse generator configured to deliver neural stimuli via one or more stimulation electrodes to a neural pathway of a patient. The device comprises measurement circuitry configured to capture signal windows from signals sensed on the neural pathway by one or more measurement electrodes, wherein the measurement circuitry comprises a configurable compound amplifier configured to amplify the captured signal windows. The device is configured to control the pulse generator to deliver a neural stimulus according to one or more stimulus parameters, measure a characteristic of an evoked neural response in an amplified captured signal window subsequent to the delivery of the neural stimulus, determine a feedback variable from the measured characteristic of the evoked neural response and adjust the one or more stimulus parameters so as to maintain the feedback variable at or near a target value.

A phase inverted amplifier includes: an amplifying transistor that amplifies an input signal, two electronic switches each having a first end that is connected to an output end of the amplifying transistor, and that have ON / OFF states which are controlled by two control signals, and a transformer that includes a primary winding connected between two second ends of the two electronic switches, and a secondary winding that outputs an amplification signal from a first end.

Embodiments included herein are directed towards a relay-driver circuit including a driving domain configured to prevent inadvertent activation of an electrical load. Embodiments may a driver control circuit and a cascode driver control circuit connected in series. The driver control circuit may have a primary negative pole operatively connected to ground (GND), and a primary positive pole configured to feed an output from the driver control circuit into the cascode driver control circuit. The cascode driver control circuit may have a secondary negative pole configured to receive the output from the driver control circuit, and a secondary positive pole operatively connected to the electrical load.
