Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A first trimming capacitor having a first terminal and a second terminal is coupled in parallel between a first terminal and a second terminal of a first capacitor. The first trimming capacitor comprises a first plurality of switched capacitors having different capacitances coupled in parallel. Each of the switched capacitors comprises a switch capacitor and a switch coupled in series. In an illustrative application the first capacitor and the first trimming capacitor are coupled between an output terminal of an operational amplifier (op-amp) and an inverting input terminal of the op-amp. A second capacitor and a second trimming capacitor similar to the first capacitor and the first trimming capacitor are coupled between an input and the inverting input terminal of the op-amp.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A circuit comprising: an operational amplifier (op-amp) having an inverting input, a non-inverting input, and an output; a first capacitor having a first terminal and a second terminal, the second terminal being coupled to the inverting input of the op-amp; a second capacitor having a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal being coupled to the output of the op-amp and the second terminal being coupled to the inverting input of the op-am…
