Thermal noise in switched-capacitor (SC) gain stages limits the minimum signal amplitude that can he processed. This paper presents expressions for the input-referred noise due to thermal noise of MOS switches used in gain stages, based on a single-stage opamp model. Comparisons with simple expressions and SPICE simulations are presented. The new expressions are in closer agreement with the simulation results than the simple expressions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
