High speed switched capacitor reference buffer

Номер: US20120049951A1
Принадлежит: Texas Instruments Inc

Conventional single-ended and differential reference buffers used for switched capacitor loads (such as sample-and-hold circuits for analog-to-digital converters) often have errors due to “memory” and are current source limited. Here, however, single-ended and differential reference buffers are provided, which include low bandwidth switched capacitor feedback loops to limit noise from the feedback loop and decouple internal bias nodes to avoid memory issues. Additionally, the differential reference buffers shown include flipped voltage followers that can sink/source large currents, which are not current source limited, and that can be underdamped so as to obtain a two pole settling response to reduce power consumption.
