## 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](#org0d411fa) (taken from ([Fleming 2010](#org7834496))) and Figure [2](#org1c3e25d) (taken from ([Schmidt, Schitter, and Rankers 2014](#orgd26dd11)))

|
||
|
||
The input impedance of the charge amplifier is very small (unlike when using a voltage amplifier).
|
||
|
||
The gain of the charge amplified (Figure [1](#org0d411fa)) is equal to:
|
||
\\[ \frac{V\_s}{q} = \frac{-1}{C\_s} \\]
