Switched-Capacitor Circuits

In this chapter, some trade-offs to be faced by an SC circuit designer are proposed. SC technique gained a large popularity in the past and it seems to be mature to be able to give excellent response for the future requirements of mixed-signal systems. However, the actual trends towards scaled-down technology, low-voltage and/or high-frequency systems impose an increased effort in finding new solutions for the SC circuits in order to achieve the required performance in the new conditions.
