    摘要: An integrated circuit in which closer matching or tracking of critical components, both active and passive, is achieved by time domain multiplexing of these critical components. Time domain multiplexing means that each of the components to be matched is alternately and sequentially, electronically switched between selected positions in the circuit. This is accomplished by continuous electronic movement or rotation of the critical components into or out of selected circuit positions to average in the circuit output any inherent errors due to variations resulting from electrical and physical characteristics appearing in the components. This arrangement is particularly useful in compensating for variations induced by the process used to create the components.
    This time domain multiplexing is especially useful in analog circuits employing complementary metal on silicon (CMOS) transistors, both field effect and bipolar in which component tracking is required for quality operation.

    摘要: A sigma-delta modulator has a chopper voltage reference providing a reference signal having a clock dependent offset voltage, a single-bit or a multi-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC); a plurality of capacitor pairs; a plurality of switches to couple any capacitor pair to an input or reference signal; and a control unit controlling sampling through said switches to perform a charge transfer in two phases wherein any capacitor pair can be selected to be assigned to the input or reference signal, wherein after a plurality of charge transfers a gain error cancellation is performed by rotating the capacitor pairs cyclically, and wherein a DAC output value and a reference offset state define switching sequences wherein each switching sequence independently rotates said capacitor pairs and wherein at least one switching sequence is selected depending on a current DAC output value and a current reference offset state.

    摘要: A potentiometric digital to analog converter includes switches to electrically connect a string of n resistors between two voltage supplies to charge a first capacitor (C 1 ) through a first tap and store the charge and then to reverse the electrical connections of the string to the two power supplies to charge a second capacitor (C 2 ) through a second tap connected at an inverse location symmetrical about the average voltage of the voltages at the supply connectivity switches and store the charge of the second capacitor. The voltage (V A , V B ) on the two capacitors is then averaged to provide a ratiometric output voltage which is insensitive to the drift of values of the string of resistors.
