Time delay charge integration circuit

A charge integration circuit incorporates first and second capacitors, and first and second reference voltage supplies. A first switch controls integration of charge in the first capacitor and selectively resets the first capacitor to the first reference voltage. A second switch selectively resets t...

Zusammenfassung:A charge integration circuit incorporates first and second capacitors, and first and second reference voltage supplies. A first switch controls integration of charge in the first capacitor and selectively resets the first capacitor to the first reference voltage. A second switch selectively resets the second capacitor to the first reference voltage. A current mirror coupled to the capacitors effects discharge of the second capacitor by a quantity of charge equivalent to the charge integrated on the first capacitor so as to effectively transfer charge therebetween at the end of an integration period.
