A few Solutions ESINSA
Solutions (a) The most dangerous problems are related to theCharge Injection. This is a strongly Non Linear effect. Fairly Unpredictable. Charge Injection must be eliminated. ESINSA
1d C1 Vi 1 a b 1d 1 c delay t0 t1 t2 Solutions (a) At each t1: Same input source connected, Vb always at 0, charge injection in C1 is (unknown!) constant. ESINSA
1d C1 Vi 1 a b Cp 1d 1 c delay t0 t1 t2 Solutions (a) At each t2: b is floating (if Cp negligible), No charge injection in C1. ESINSA
2 t4 t3 Solutions (a) C2 2 d b Virtual ground At each t4: b at 0. Everything being constant, Charge injection in C2 is (unknown!) constant. ESINSA
Solutions (a) Using delayed clocks, charge injection is constant. If Cp is negligible, the charge injection creates a DC offset. Otherwise, charge injection is attenuated by ratio Cp/C. ESINSA
C2 C1 1d 2 Cp 1 2 Solutions (a) In fact, charge injection is attenuated by the ratio Cp/C1. This capacitor must be minimized. ESINSA
Cp’’ Solutions (b) Clock feedthrough can be at least partially compensated usingCMOS switches: Cp’ Vi Vj C t0 t1 ESINSA
Solutions (b) The CMOS switches are also less resistive and allow to switch a signal with a rail to rail dynamic range. Still their resistances are very non linear. Vi Vj C t0 t1 ESINSA

SWC Integrator Hard to believe? Symmetrical Differential SWC integrators have such qualities that it is possible to use them to build fully integrated ADC exceeding the performances of CD audio, without calibration. Some care is nevertheless needed . ESINSA
