Abstract: Provided is a switched capacitor feedback circuit including two or more input ports configured to receive a corresponding a number of input signals and at least one output port. The output port is configured to output an adjusting signal. The input signals includes a number of primary signals and two or more reference signals that are associated with a first timing phase of operation. The adjusting signal is produced based upon a comparison between the primary signals the reference signals. Also provided is a pair of active devices having gates coupled together and structured to receive the adjusting signal. The active devices are configured to provide a gain to the adjusting signal in accordance with a predetermined gain factor, and facilitate an adjustment to the number of primary signals based upon the gain during a second timing phase of operation.
