## Description {#description}
A charge amplifier outputs a voltage proportional to the charge generated by a sensor connected to its inputs.
This can be typically used to interface with piezoelectric sensors.
## Basic Circuit {#basic-circuit}
Two basic circuits of charge amplifiers are shown in Figure [1](#org3aa62a6) (taken from ([Fleming 2010](#orgd8b7cb4))) and Figure [2](#org18afeb8) (taken from ([Schmidt, Schitter, and Rankers 2014](#orga9d9a6b)))

The input impedance of the charge amplifier is very small (unlike when using a voltage amplifier).
The gain of the charge amplified (Figure [1](#org3aa62a6)) is equal to:
\\[ \frac{V\_s}{q} = \frac{-1}{C\_s} \\]
