a charge amplifier for use in radiation sensing includes an amplifier , at least one switch , and at least one capacitor . the switch selectively couples the input of the switch to one of at least two voltages . the capacitor is electrically coupled in series between the input of the amplifier and the input of the switch . the capacitor is electrically coupled to the input of the amplifier without a switch coupled therebetween . a method of measuring charge in radiation sensing includes selectively diverting charge from an input of an amplifier to an input of at least one capacitor by selectively coupling an output of the at least one capacitor to one of at least two voltages . the input of the at least one capacitor is operatively coupled to the input of the amplifier without a switch coupled therebetween . the method also includes calculating a total charge based on a sum of the amplified charge and the diverted charge .
