  • Buffer, and digital to analog converter in combination with a buffer
    Patent number: 10027338
    Abstract: A buffer is provided where a part of the buffer is implemented in switched capacitor or other analog discrete time processing circuitry and a dynamic response characteristic, such as an effective gain or charge transfer coefficient between the input stage and an output stage is digitally controllable. This means that the buffer can be driven as if it was a system controlled by, for example a three (3) term controller, giving rise to greater, digital flexibility in tailoring the buffer's transient response.
    Type: Grant
