    摘要: A digital-to-analog (DAC) element may include a plurality of switches arranged to form two circuit branches between a current source and a first and a second outputs. The first circuit branch may include two switches defining parallel current paths between the current source and the first output terminal. The second circuit branch may include two switches defining parallel current paths between the current source and the second output terminal. A control circuit, responsive to an input signal that selects one of the circuit branches, may provide control signals to close one of switches in the selected circuit branch in a first portion of a clock cycle and to close the other of the switches in the selected circuit branch in a second portion of the clock cycle.

    摘要: An integrator system may have a pair of sampling circuits each having a sampling capacitor to sample a respective component of a differential input signal, and an integrator having inputs coupled to outputs of the sampling circuits. The system may have a shorting switch coupled between input terminals of the sampling capacitors. The shorting switch may be engaged during an interstitial phase between sampling and output phases of the sampling circuits. By shorting input terminals of the sampling capacitors together, the design reduces current drawn by the system and, in some designs, severs relationships between current draw and information content sampled by the system. The integrator system may receive analog and digital input signals.

    摘要: A programmable gain amplifier (“PGA”) may include a differential amplifier, a pair of input capacitors, a pair of feedback capacitors provided in feedback configuration about the amplifier, a first chop circuit, provided at an input of the PGA and an output of the PGA and a second chop circuit provided at an output of the PGA. The PGA also may include circuit systems to sample voltages across the input capacitors in a sampling phase. The sampled voltages may correspond to a difference between a common mode voltage of input signals to the PGA and a common mode voltage of the differential amplifier. The sampled voltage, thus, defines a common mode voltage at the amplifier's inputs during other phases of operation, when the chop circuits are operational.
