Microwatt Switched Capacitor Circuit Design: Prepared for a Summer Course at K.U. Leuven, 1981

Summer Course on Switched Capacitor Circuits, June 9-12, 1981, K. U. Leuven Eric Vittoz prepared this seminal paper in 1981 for a summer course at K.U.Leuven. After reviewing the behavior of MOS devices at very low current, it examines the CMOS implementation of the three basic components of SC circuits (switches, matched capacitors, amplifiers), and weighs the tradeoffs between low power, settling time, and noise considerations.
