    摘要: A circuit having a capacitance driver circuit can allow for reduction of thermal noise to an application circuit. An output of the capacitance driver circuit can drive a capacitor for use by the application circuit coupled to the capacitor at the output of the capacitance driver circuit. The capacitance driver circuit can be structured to operate over a bandwidth of interest. With an input signal, received at the capacitance driver circuit, associated with a target voltage, an output voltage can be provided at the output of the capacitance driver circuit as a bandlimited filtered voltage value of the target voltage, where a root-mean-square voltage deviation of the output voltage from the target voltage, due to thermal noise, is less than a square root of (kT/C). The term k is Boltzmann's constant, T is Kelvin temperature of the capacitance driver circuit, and C is the capacitance of the driven capacitor.

    摘要: A signal conditioning circuit to reduce detrimental effects of analog circuit elements. The techniques described herein provide a cascade of buffer circuits and signal processing circuitry to measure and cancel the distortion introduced by the buffer circuits. Thus, a buffer can be added to the signal path of an input signal without the detrimental effects, such as added distortion, that typically accompany the addition of buffers.
