    摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide sampling networks that avoid undesired transient voltages. One example provides a sampling network that includes a switch such that charge is transferred to an integrator in two separate steps instead of one. This switch connects the first side of a capacitor to an intermediate voltage after it is connected to an input voltage and before it is connected to a reference voltage, where the reference voltage is the output of a one-bit digital-to-analog converter. This intermediate switching allows charge to be transferred from a sampling capacitor to an integrating capacitor in two steps, thus avoiding undesirable transient voltages.

    摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide bootstrapped switches having improved reliability. One example improves the reliability of a discharge transistor connected to discharge the gate of a switch transistor by decreasing its operating voltage during the discharge. This example provides a discharge transistor having a first source-drain region connected to a gate of a switch transistor. Since the gate of the switch transistor can reach high voltages, if the discharge transistor's second source-drain region is instantaneously tied to ground when the switch's gate is discharged, the discharge transistor's reliability can be degraded due to hot-electron effects. Accordingly, instead of being connected to ground—or an intermediate node that quickly reaches the ground potential during gate discharge—the second source-drain region of the discharge transistor is coupled to an intermediate node that discharges to ground at a slower rate.

    摘要: Ensuring sufficient bias current is provided to a portion of a circuit containing low voltage transistors operating with a high supply voltage. Such a sufficient bias current may be ensured by generating a primary bias current from a low supply voltage and a backup bias current from a high supply voltage, and providing the backup bias current as the bias current if the primary bias current is not present. The primary bias current may be provided as the bias current when the low supply voltage is available. Thus, the backup bias current is provided as bias current in case of undesirable supply sequencing.

    摘要: A technique to attenuate even-order harmonics of an output stage of a multistage nested Miller compensation circuit. In one example embodiment, this is accomplished by using a low-bandwidth low-swing amplifier in the common mode feedback loop to improve the even-order harmonic performance in the signal path. The technique uses a separate multistage loop for the common mode feedback loop to attenuate the even-order harmonics. The common mode feedback loop is the fourth stage and uses the third stage of the nested Miller compensation circuit. The fourth stage of the common mode feedback loop includes a single harmonic and uses a low voltage supply to achieve lower power consumption by the common mode feedback loop.
