Equation 9–10
A general model of a switched-capacitor circuit, as shown in Figure B–3(a), consists of a
capacitor, two voltage sources, V1 and V2, and a two-pole switch. Let’s examine this circuit

for a specified period of time, T. Assume that V1 and V2 are constant during the time period
T and V1 7 V2. Of particular interest is the average current I1 produced by the source V1
during the time period T.
During the first half of the time period T, the switch is in position 1, as indicated in
Figure B–3(b). The capacitor charges very rapidly to the source voltage V1. Therefore, an
average current I1 due to V1 is charging the capacitor during the interval from t = 0 to
t = T/2. During the second half of the time period, the switch is in position 2, as indicated.
Because V1 7 V2, the capacitor rapidly discharges to the voltage V2. The average current
produced by the source V1 over the time period T is
Q1(T/2) - Q1(0)
I1(avg) =
T
Q1(0) is the charge at t = 0 and Q1(T/2) is the charge at t = T/2. Therefore, Q1(T/2) - Q1(0)
is the net charge transferred while the switch is in position 1.
The capacitor voltage at T/2 is equal to V1, and the capacitor voltage at 0 or T is equal to
V2. By substituting CV for Q in the previous equation,
CV1(T/2) - CV2(0) C1V1(T/2) - V2(0)2
I1(avg) = =
T T
Since V1 and V2 are assumed to be constant during T, the average current can be expressed as
C(V1 - V2)
I1(avg) =
T
Figure B–4 shows a conventional resistive circuit with two voltage sources. From Ohm’s
law, the current is I1 R

The current I1(avg) in the switched-capacitor circuit is equal to I1 in the resistive circuit.

As you can see, a switched-capacitor circuit can emulate a resistor with a value deter-
mined by the time period T and the capacitance C. Remember that the two-pole switch is
in each position for one-half of the time period T and that you can vary T by varying the
frequency at which the switches are operated.

The gain ratio is

The rise time is defined as the time required for the voltage to increase from 10 percent of
its final value to 90 percent of its final value, as indicated in Figure B–6.
Expressing the curve in its exponential form gives
v = Vfinal(1 - e - t>RC)
When v = 0.1Vfinal,
0.1Vfinal = Vfinal(1 - e - t>RC) = Vfinal - Vfinale - t>RC

The formula for open-loop gain in Equation 12–19 can be expressed in complex notation as
Aol(mid)
Aol =

Substituting the above expression into the equation Acl = Aol>(1 + BAol) gives a formula
for the total closed-loop gain.
Aol(mid)>(1 + jf>fc(ol))
1 + BAol(mid)>(1 + jf>fc(ol))
Acl =

Multiplying the numerator and denominator by 1 + jf>fc(ol) yields

Aol(mid)
Acl =
1 + BAol(mid) + jf>fc(ol)
Dividing the numerator and denominator by 1 + BAol(mid) gives
Aol(mid)>(1 + BAol(mid))
Acl =
1 + j[ f>( fc(ol)(1 + BAol(mid)))]
The above expression is of the form of the first equation
Acl(mid)
Acl =

where fc(cl) is the closed-loop critical frequency. Thus,
fc(cl) = fc(ol)(1 + BAol(mid))
