Abstract
In an embodiment an integration circuit has a first input terminal configured to receive a first input signal, a second input terminal configured to receive a second input signal, an output terminal to provide an output signal as a function of the first and the second input signal, a first and a second amplifier, each being switchably connected between the first or the second input terminal and the output terminal, and a capacitor which is switchably coupled in a feedback loop either of the first or of the second amplifier such that the capacitor and one of the first and the second amplifier form an inverting integrator providing the output signal. Therein the integration circuit is prepared to be operated in a first and a second subphase, wherein in each of first and second subphases one of the first and the second input signals is supplied to the inverting integrator and the respective other one of first and the second input signals is supplied to the respective other one of the first and the second amplifier.
