摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a sampling network of a switched-capacitor integrator and a clocking scheme associated therewith, which may be used in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), for example. The integrator generally includes five sets of switches which allow for a decreased switching frequency (e.g., halved) at an input stage of the integrator compared to conventional double sampling networks. As a result, the input impedance of the integrator may be increased (e.g., doubled), resulting in lower power consumption and reduced strain on driving circuitry.

摘要: A trigger circuit includes a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected in series, a control device and an output of the trigger circuit. The first capacitor is connected to a first voltage rail and to a common node. The second capacitor is connected to a second voltage rail and to the common node. The control device has a first terminal that is coupled to the common node and a control terminal to receive a control signal. The control signal may be decoupled from transients on the first voltage rail and the second voltage rail. The output of the trigger circuit is coupled to the common node.

摘要: One feature pertains to a circuit comprising a semiconductor leakage source device and a semiconductor leakage cancellation device that are both coupled to a signal line. The leakage source device generates a leakage current on the signal line, and the leakage cancellation device generates a leakage cancellation current on the signal line. The leakage cancellation device is sized and shaped in relation to the leakage source device such that the leakage cancellation current effectively cancels the leakage current on the signal line. Moreover, the leakage cancellation current cancels the leakage current on the signal line despite variations in at least one of process, temperature, and/or signal line voltages. In one example, the signal line is a virtual ground node of a capacitive feedback amplifier and the leakage source device is a switch between the virtual ground node and a first terminal of a feedback capacitor of the amplifier.

摘要: A power amplifier provides reduction of click and pop in audio applications. The power amplifier includes a first amplifier and an auxiliary amplifier. The auxiliary amplifier is used to ramp the power amplifier output from ground to an offset voltage to reduce the “click and pop” sound. The first amplifier and the auxiliary amplifier having a shared feedback loop. An output of the first amplifier and an output of the auxiliary amplifier may be switchably coupled to the shared feedback loop. A wave generator controls a switch to couple the first amplifier output or the auxiliary amplifier output to the shared feedback loop.

摘要: A transient signal protection circuit includes an input node coupled to a signal line configured to carry an output signal from a first circuit to a second circuit, wherein the signal line is subject to experiencing an unwanted reverse signal from the second circuit to the first circuit. The transient signal protection circuit also includes a comparator module configured to output a clamping signal when it is determined that the unwanted reverse signal includes a value that falls outside an acceptable range of the first circuit; and a power switch coupled to the comparator module and configured to couple the input node to a sink node when the comparator module outputs the clamping signal.
