    Abstract: A sampling circuit may include a sampling capacitance, an electronic sampling switch, and a switch controller. The electronic sampling switch may have a control input that controls whether the electronic sampling switch is in a sample state or a hold state. The electronic sampling switch may connect the sampling capacitance to an input signal while in the sample state and disconnect the sampling capacitance from the input signal while in the hold state. The switch controller may control the control input to the electronic sampling switch so as to cause the electronic sampling switch to be in the sample state during one period and the hold state during another period. While in the sample state, the switch controller may cause the impedance of the electronic sampling switch that is seen by the input signal to be substantially independent of the voltage of the input signal. The switch controller may include a pre-charge circuit that pre-charges the control input to the electronic sampling switch prior to each commencement of the sample state to approximately the average of the voltage of the input signal and the voltage on the sampling capacitance immediately prior to each commencement of the sample state. The amount of the pre-charging may be substantially independent of the voltage of the input signal.

    Abstract: Circuits and methods for converting a signal from analog to digital. A random number generator (302) provides a random number to a memory (308). The memory (308) is preconfigured to include codes of predetermined digital to analog, DAC, configurations that provide the maximum amount of DAC gradient suppression. At least one Flash reference generation DAC, FRGD (310), has an input coupled to the memory unit (308) and an output providing a reference voltage level for its respective Flash comparator (110). The Flash comparators (110) compare the analog input signal (VIN) to their respective reference voltage and provide a digital output signal based on the comparison.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing the magnitude of signal dependent capacitance are provided. Capacitance canceling circuitry is operative to generate cancellation capacitance in response to the magnitude of a signal, which may be the same signal that produces the undesired signal dependent capacitance, to at least partially cancel the signal dependent capacitance.
