  • Patent number: 4331894
    Abstract: An interpolation or smoothing filter circuit for a switched-capacitor system which transforms the sampled-and-held output signals from a switched-capacitor filter into sampled-and-held signals with a doubled sample rate. The circuit comprises an operational amplifier whose noninverting input lead is connected to a switched capacitor network which receives the sampled-and-held input signals at the normal sample rate. The network includes two separate capacitors controlled by switches operable at two alternating clock phases and connected to provide the desired summation and holding of charges. Feedback leads connected between the amplifier output lead and its noninverting input lead and containing additional capacitors cooperate with the input network to produce an output signal that is sampled-and-held at twice the sample rate of the input signal.

  • Patent number: 4329599
    Abstract: A switched-capacitor cosine filter for a sampled-data system functions to reject extraneous frequency components of an incoming analog signal around the sampling frequency, thereby avoiding aliasing. The filter comprises an operational amplifier whose inverting input receives input signals through a switched input capacitor controlled by a four-switch network controlled by alternating clock phases and feedback signals from the amplifier output through a feedback capacitor. The transfer function of the circuit provides a zero of transmission at the sampling frequency, thereby eliminating unwanted frequency components. A self-contained version of the cosine filter is provided by the addition of another grounded switched capacitor with appropriately timed switches in the feedback network.

  • Patent number: 4208641
    Abstract: A hybrid integrated impedance converter circuit comprising a frequency dependent negative resistance circuit, in which two operational amplifiers are included. Each of the two operational amplifiers has an output terminal and an inverting input terminal, with a negative feedback capacitor being connected between these terminals. The negative feedback capacitor is formed by a stray capacitance which arises between conductors connected to the output and inverting input terminals, which conductors are placed in close proximity to each other.
