  • Publication number: 20120306567
    Abstract: A capacitance structure comprises a plurality of metal oxide silicon (MOS) capacitors. A first end of each MOS capacitor of the plurality of MOS capacitors is coupled together at an effective node. A second end of each MOS capacitor of the plurality of MOS capacitors is configured to receive a respective different signal. Each first end of each MOS capacitor of the plurality of MOS capacitors thereby functions as an input end of a capacitor with a capacitance value determined based on the respective different signal. An effective capacitance value thereby results at the effective node.
