1. Current-mode circuitry for sampling a current signal, the circuitry comprising:

  • a first node configured to receive the current signal;

    a plurality of second nodes conductively connectable to the first node along respective paths;

    a steering circuit configured to control connections between the first node and the second nodes so that different packets of charge making up the current signal are steered along different ones of the paths over time; and

    a reset circuit coupled to one of the second nodes, and configured, during a period between successive packets of charge for the one of the second nodes, to bring a voltage potential of the one of the second nodes to a first value.
