Wherein, one end of the first switch CP1 is connected to the second receiving terminal inm 1; one end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the other end of the first switch CP1 and has a first node J1, and the other end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to a first inverting input OPA 11-of the first operational amplifier OPA1, wherein a first non-inverting input OPA11+ of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is connected to a reference voltage supply terminal Vref supplying a reference voltage; one end of the second switch CP2 is connected to the first node J1, and the other end of the second switch CP2 is connected to the output terminal OPA1 of the first operational amplifier OPA1outConnecting; one end of the first sub-switch CK1 is connected to the other end of the first capacitor C1, and the other end of the first sub-switch CK1 is connected to the reference voltage supply terminal Vref; one end of the third switch CP3 is connected to the first receiving terminal inp 1; one terminal of the fourth switch CP4 and the output terminal OPA1 of the first operational amplifier OPA1outConnecting; one end of a second capacitor C2 is connected to the other end of the third switch CP3 and the other end of the fourth switch CP4, and the second capacitor C2 is connected at the other end to a first inverting input OPA 21-of a second operational amplifier OPA2 and has a second node J2, wherein the first non-inverting input OPA21+ of the second operational amplifier is connected to a reference voltage supply terminal Vref; one end of the second sub-switch CK2 is connected to the other end of the second capacitor C2, and the other end of the second sub-switch CK2 is connected to the reference voltage supply terminal Vref; one terminal of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the second node J2, the other terminal of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the reference voltage supply terminal Vref through the fifth switch CP5, and the other terminal of the third capacitor C3 is also connected to the output terminal OPA2 of the second operational amplifier OPA2 through the sixth switch CP6outWherein the output terminal OPA2 of the second operational amplifieroutAnd also to the output terminal OUT.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 11, the first switch CP1, the third switch CP3, and the fifth switch CP5 are controlled by the first clock signal, that is, when the first clock signal is at a high level, the first switch CP1, the third switch CP3, and the fifth switch CP5 are closed, and when the first clock signal is at a low level, the first switch CP1, the third switch CP3, and the fifth switch CP5 are closed; and, the second, fourth and sixth switches CP2, CP4 and CP6 are controlled by the second clock signal, that is, the second, fourth and sixth switches CP2, CP4 and CP6 are closed when the second clock signal is at a high level, and the second, fourth and sixth switches CP2, CP4 and CP6 are opened when the second clock signal is at a low level. The first and second sub switches CK1 and CK2 are controlled by the third clock signal, the first and second sub switches CK1 and CK2 are closed when the third clock signal is at a high level, and the first and second sub switches CK1 and CK2 are turned off when the third clock signal is at a low level. As shown in fig. 11, the first clock signal and the third clock signal are simultaneously at a high level, and when the first clock signal and the third clock signal are at a high level, the second clock signal is at a low level.

In contrast, as shown in fig. 9, when the first subtraction channel line1 operates in the amplification mode, the first, third, and fifth switches CP1, CP3, and CP5 and the first and second sub-switches CK1 and CK2 are controlled to be turned off, and the second, fourth, and sixth switches CP2, CP4, and CP6 are controlled to be turned on, so that the sampled first and second signals are subjected to subtraction processing by the first, second, and third capacitors C1, C2, and C3 to generate a first result.
That is, when the first subtraction channel line1 operates in the amplification mode, the first and third clock signals are both low level and the second clock signal is high level, that is, the first, third, and fifth switches CP1, CP3, and CP5 and the first and second sub-switches CK1 and CK2 are controlled to be turned off, and the second, fourth, and sixth switches CP2, CP4, and CP6 are controlled to be turned on, so that the sampled first and second signals are subjected to subtraction processing by the first, second, and third capacitors C1, C2, and C3 to generate a first result.

Wherein inp1(t1) is the first signal sampled through the first receiving terminal inp1 at time t1, and time t1 is the time when the first clock signal generates a falling edge, i.e., the sampling mode exits.
When the first subtraction channel line1 operates in the amplification mode, as shown in fig. 10, the circuit of the first subtraction channel line1 can be simplified as follows: the other terminal of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first inverting input OPA 11-of the first operational amplifier OPA1, and one terminal of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the output OPA1 of the first operational amplifier OPA1outOne end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to one end of the first capacitor C1 and the output OPA1 of the first operational amplifier OPA1, respectivelyoutThe other end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the first inverting input terminal OPA 21-of the second operational amplifier OPA2 and one end of the third capacitor C3, respectively, the other end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the output terminal OUT, the first non-inverting input terminal OPA11+ of the first operational amplifier OPA1 and the first non-inverting input terminal OPA21+ of the second operational amplifier OPA2 are both connected to the reference voltage supply terminal Vref, and at this time, the output terminal OPA1 of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is connected to the reference voltage supply terminal Vref according to the flip-flop sample-and-hold principleoutThe output signal of (1) is a second signal inm1(t1) sampled through a second receiving terminal inm1 at time t1, the total charge at a second node J2 is Q2 ═ Vref-inm1(t1)) · C2+ (Vref-OUT) · C3, and according to the charge conservation at the node J2, that is, Q1 ═ Q2, if the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 have equal capacities, that is, C2 ═ C3, the first result OUT1 is: OUT1 ═ Vref + inp1(t1) -inm1(t 1).
