 Switched Capacitor Integrator
One of the most popular topics in analog signal processing design today is switched capacitor(SC) circuits. A complete analysis is covered in ECE4220/5220. An SC circuit is a discrete-time without the use of an A/D or D/A. A background in z-transforms is helpful but not necessary to understand SC circuits.
This circuit is an SC integrator.
This schematic includes five sources used to test the circuit, they are shown in the upper-right portion of the schematic.
Most SC circuits require at 2 clock phases. U1 in this schematic is a two-phase non-overlapping clock generator with inverted and non-inverted clock outputs. The clock generator can be found in the clocks library. The circuit is shown as follows.
The output of SC circuits is truly a non-continuous discrete-time signal. The output signal only needs to be valid during the sample time of the next stage.
