CMOS chopper amplifier to reduce 1/f noise

The paper reviews CMOS chopper amplifier theory and actual circuit. The theory is simple: modulate the input signal to F_chopper where 1/f noise is not significant, amplify the modulated signal. and finally demodulate and reconstruct low pass signal at the output. Also, found this work interesting: using CMOS devices in lateral bipolar mode to decrease 1/f noise (see figure 14).
