    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 φ1. Further, second switching elements (S103a, S103b, S104a, S104b) connect the switched capacitor (C2, C2a, C2b) during discharging phases φ2 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: The invention relates to a mixer circuit 31 comprising a down-conversion mixing component 33 arranged for down-converting an input radio frequency signal Irf+, Irf-. In order to improve such a mixer circuit, it is proposed that it comprises in addition an active mixer load circuit 34 connected to output terminals of the mixing component. The active mixer load circuit includes an active mixer load 51, T1, T2 and modulating means S1-S4 arranged for modulating a flicker noise produced by the active mixer load away from the signal band of a signal Ibb+, Ibb- output by the down-conversion mixing component. The invention relates equally to a receiver, a chip and a device comprising such a mixer circuit and to a method for use with such a mixer circuit.

    摘要: An N-level quantizer circuit (14) has an analog input terminal and N-1 digital output terminals, and includes a sampling circuit (SW samp) coupled to the input terminal for providing a sampled input voltage signal; at least one preamplifier stage (14A) for converting the sampled input voltage signal to a current signal and providing an amplified sampled input signal; and N-1 comparator stages (14B) each having an input coupled to an output of the at least one preamplifier stage (14A) and sharing the input current equally. Individual ones of the N-1 comparator stages (14B) operate to compare the amplified sampled signal to an associated one of N-1 reference signals. The quantizer (14) further includes N-1 latches (14C), individual ones of which latch an output state of one of the N-1 comparators and have an output coupled to one of the N-1 digital output terminals of the quantizer circuit (14).
