  • 2-phase threshold detector based circuits
    Patent number: 9413228
    Abstract: A switched capacitor circuit includes a threshold detector to generate a threshold detection signal when a difference between first and second input signals crosses a predetermined level. A variable current source produces a varying amount of current in response to the difference between the input signals. A voltage measurement means produce a measurement signal in response to the difference between the input signals. A correction means produces a correction signal in response to the measurement signal to produce an optimum coarse phase overshoot. A timing comparison means produces a timing signal in response to the difference between the input signals. A correction means produces a correction signal in response to the timing signal to produce an optimum coarse phase overshoot.
