    摘要: A circuit includes an input node configured to receive an input reference signal. An output node is configured to provide a replica of the input reference signal with a respective scaling ratio to the input reference signal at the input node. A digital-to-analog converter has a reference input configured to receive the input reference signal from the input node, a digital input configured to receive a digital input signal having a digital signal value, and a digital-to-analog converter output configured to provide an output signal from the digital-to-analog converter resulting from conversion to analog of the digital input signal. The output node of the circuit is configured to sense the output signal from the digital-to-analog converter and to provide the replica of the input reference signal at the output node.

    摘要: A half buffer circuit includes a current source coupled to a first node, a ground connection coupled to a second node, a feedback capacitor coupled between the first node and an output of the half buffer circuit, a transconductor element comprising a first input/output, a second input/output, and a transconductor element control input, and a switch network coupled between the first node and the second node. The first input/output is coupled to the output of the half buffer circuit. The second input/output is coupled to a ground connection. The switch network includes a first switch coupled between the first node and the second node, a second switch coupled between the first node and the transconductor element control input, and a third switch coupled between the second node and the transconductor element control input.
