Abstract

The device is adapted to sample and amplify with an optimum gain multiplexed analog signals. It comprises a chain of three interconnected amplifiers, the first of which has a gain of unity, the respective gains of the two others being selected in dependence on their output voltage as compared to a reference voltage. It also comprises three memorizing capacitors each of which is adapted to memorize the output voltage of a corresponding amplifier, and switches, actuated in accordance with the gain selection for each amplifier, to make the necessary connections for operating the chain of amplifiers with the selected gain.
