Introduction Switched Capacitor Circuits

The document discusses switched capacitor circuits, which use capacitors and switches to implement filters. Charges are moved in and out of capacitors when switches open and close. Non-overlapping clock signals control the switches to prevent all switches closing at once. Integrated circuit capacitors have parasitic capacitances that make their values asymmetric and unpredictable, impacting circuits like integrators. Switched capacitor circuits can emulate resistors and be used to build filters like integrators.

Introduction to Switched- Capacitor


Circuits
A switched capacitor (SC) is an
electronic circuit element implementing a filter.
It works by moving charges into and out
of capacitors when switches are opened and
closed. Usually, non-overlapping signals are used
to control the switches, so that not all switches
are closed simultaneously.

Example
• C1 = 5pF, fs = 100kHz
Req = 1/(5e12*100e3) = 2M

• Very large value


• Controllable by changing the clock frequency
Non-overlapping clocks
• Must avoid the situation
where both switches
are closed
simultaneously

• Integrator gain depends upon ratio of capacitor values


• Operation is analogous to a continuous-time active RC integrator
with respect to input frequencies >> fs
Practical integrated circuit capacitors

• Parasitics Cp1,2 are not well controlled and are difficult to


predict
Impact of parasitics on the integrator

• Gain is no longer accurate & well controlled
