    Abstract: Reducing signal dependence for a reference voltage of a CDAC includes: splitting a decoupling capacitor into a plurality of capacitors smaller in size than a size of the decoupling capacitor; isolating at least one of the plurality of capacitors from a sampling buffer coupled to the reference voltage during a conversion phase; and supplying an appropriate amount of charge needed to replenish charge drawn by capacitors in the CDAC at each conversion step using a charge pump to pump in a dummy charge to the CDAC so that resulting configurations of the CDAC draw substantially similar amount of charge for each code change of the each conversion step.

    Abstract: An example apparatus is disclosed for alias rejection through charge sharing. The apparatus includes a filter-sampling network, a digital-to-analog converter, and a charge-sharing switch. The filter-sampling network includes a capacitor and a first switch, which is coupled between an input node and the capacitor. The filter-sampling network is configured to connect or disconnect the capacitor to or from the input node via the first switch. The digital-to-analog converter includes a capacitor array and a second switch, which is coupled between the input node and the capacitor array. The capacitor array is coupled between the second switch and a charge-sharing node. The digital-to-analog converter is configured to connect or disconnect the capacitor array to or from the input node via the second switch. The charge-sharing switch is coupled between the charge-sharing node and the capacitor and is configured to connect or disconnect the capacitor to or from the digital-to-analog converter.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide various sampling networks for switched-capacitor integrators, which may be used in switched-capacitor analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Rather than having both an input sampling capacitor and a reference sampling capacitor, certain aspects of the present disclosure use a shared sampling capacitor for the reference voltage and the input voltage, thereby reducing ADC input-referred noise, decreasing op amp area and power, and avoiding anti-aliasing filter insertion loss. Furthermore, by sampling the reference voltage during the sampling phase and sampling the input voltage during the integration phase using the shared sampling capacitor, a high-bandwidth reference buffer need not be used for the reference voltage.

    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a substantially constant DC reference voltage. The apparatus includes a reference voltage generator configured to generate a substantially constant direct current (DC) reference voltage based on a voltage on a data signal transmission line, wherein the voltage is based on a bandgap reference voltage. In one implementation, the data signal transmission line is a differential signal transmission line and the voltage is a common mode voltage. In another implementation, the data signal transmission line is an I-data signal transmission line and a Q-data signal transmission line, and the voltage is an average or weighted-average of the common mode voltages of the I- and Q-differential signals. In another implementation, the reference voltage is based on a single-ended (e.g., positive- and/or negative)-component or vice-versa of Iand Q-data signals, respectively.
