The present invention comprises switched capacitor amplifiers including positive feedback on semiconductor devices, wafers, and systems incorporating same and methods for amplifying signals using positive feedback, while maintaining a stable gain and producing an improved signal-to-noise ratio. One embodiment includes a switched capacitor amplifier comprising a CMOS amplifier, a feed-in switched capacitor, and a feedback switched capacitor. The feed-in switched capacitor couples an input signal to the non-inverting input of the CMOS amplifier. Similarly, the feedback switched capacitor couples the amplifier output to the non-inverting input to create a positive feedback loop. A capacitance of the feedback switched capacitor relative to a capacitance of the feed-in switched capacitor comprises a feedback proportion. This feedback proportion may be configured to maintain a stable gain of the switched capacitor amplifier and increase a signal-to-noise ratio of the switched capacitor amplifier, even with the switched capacitor amplifier in a positive feedback arrangement.
