A charge amplifier circuit includes an operational am-
plifier with an integrating capacitor between its invert-
ing input and its output, and a resetting device with a
switch that i closed during the reset phase for discharg-
ing the integrating capacitor. Provided at the output of
the charge amplifier circuit is @ circuit arrangement
with a correction amplifier which wien the switch is
closed, automatically delivers a correction charge to
the integrating capacitor, compensating the zero shift of
the output voltage from the charge amplifier circuit
during the measuring phase. Ths circuit arrangement is
particularly suited for charge amplifiers with an ex-
tremely high ohmic input stage.
