    摘要: An acquisition and averaging circuit is provided in which, during a sampling phase capacitors in sample blocks 4 and 6 are sequentially connected to the input signal to sample it and are then isolated so as to hold the sample. The capacitors are then connected to a combining/averaging arrangement such that an average of the sample values is formed.

    摘要: The invention relates to an active current mode sampling circuit comprising an operational amplifier (103) and at least one switched capacitor (C2, C2a, C2b). In order to reduce the power consumption of such a circuit, first switching elements (S101a, S101b, S102a, S102b) switch the switched capacitor (C2, C2a, C2b) between an input and an output of the operational amplifier (103) during charging phases phi1. Further, second switching elements (S103a, S103b, S104a, S104b) connect the switched capacitor (C2, C2a, C2b) during discharging phases phi2 to a subsequent stage (104), in order to provide a charge of the switched capacitor (C2, C2a, C2b) to the subsequent stage (104). The invention relates equally to a device (107) comprising such a sampling circuit and to a method of operating such a sampling circuit.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods sense or measure an input current (I in ), such as a current indicating a logic state of a memory cell (38). A sensing circuit includes an amplifier (412), a capacitor (422), a current source circuit (430), a clocked comparator (426) and a clocked counter (448). The current source circuit operates responsive to an output (444,445) of the comparator to supply or withdraw current to and from the capacitor during respective charging and discharging intervals. The count in the clocked counter results from periodic comparisons of the capacitor voltage with a reference voltage and is, therefore, related to the logic state of the memory cell. The magnitude of current supplied during charging is less than the magnitude withdrawn during discharging, allowing use of a smaller counter.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an input buffer for a switched emitterfollower-like track-and-hold amplifier comprising an input stage with an input transistor (Q1), a first diode (Q2, Q2b), a cathode side of which first diode (Q2, Q2b) is connected to an emitter of the input transistor (Q1), a first current source (4) between on the one hand the junction between the cathode of the first diode (Q2, Q2b) and the emitter of the input transistor (Q1) and on the other hand a first supply voltage line (2), an anode of the first diode (Q2, Q2b) being connected to a track-and-hold controlled emitterfollower (6). The first current source (4) is a non-switched constant current source, and a second current source (M1) is connected between a collector of the input transistor (Q1) and a second supply voltage (3). A second transistor (M2, M2b) comprising a control electrode, a current input electrode and a current output electrode is connected with the control electrode to the junction (n1) between the collector of the input transistor (Q1) and the second current source (M1), with the current input electrode to the second supply voltage (3) and with the current output electrode to the anode of the first diode (Q2, Q2b).

    摘要: A sampled-data analog circuit includes a level-crossing detector (30). The level-crossing detector controls sampling switches (s22n, s23n, s22p, s23p) to provide a precise sample of the output voltage when the level-crossing detector senses the predetermined level crossing of the input signal. The level-crossing detection may be a zero-crossing detection. An optional common-mode feedback circuit (400) can keep the output common-mode voltage substantially constant.
