  • Patent number: 8730072
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes calibration circuitry for adjusting the bandwidth of at least one sub-converter of an interleaved analog to digital converter (ADC), the at least one sub-converter having an input switch coupled to an input line of the ADC, the calibration circuitry having a control circuit adapted to adjust a bulk voltage of a transistor forming the input switch.

  • Patent number: 8711024
    Abstract: A switched capacitor amplifier having an amplification unit adapted to amplify a differential signal; a first switched capacitor block including a first plurality of capacitors operable to sample a first differential input signal during a first sampling phase and to drive the amplification unit during a first drive phase; and a second switched capacitor block including a second plurality of capacitors operable to sample a second differential input signal during a second sampling phase and to drive the amplification unit during a second drive phase.

  • Patent number: 8253482
    Abstract: The common-mode voltage of a switched-capacitor system is controlled by determining a current common-mode voltage of the switched-capacitor system, converting (in a flow-through conduction cell) the difference between the current common-mode voltage and a desired common-mode voltage into a resultant current, and reinjecting this resultant current into the switched-capacitor system via a resistive path.

  • Publication number: 20100308904
    Abstract: The device generates a reference voltage, in particular designed for a system of the switched-capacitor type, based on a setpoint voltage. It includes a regulation loop having a first input to receive the setpoint voltage, and an output stage arranged as a voltage follower and looped to a second input of the loop. An additional stage is configured to deliver the reference voltage to the switched-capacitor system, this additional stage, coupled to the output stage, also being arranged as a voltage follower and paired with the output stage.
