Abstract

A multi-level capacitive digital-to-analog converter, comprises at least one capacitor switch circuit () including a differential operational amplifier () having a first input node (E) and a second input node (E). A first current path () is coupled to a first reference input terminal (E) to apply a first reference potential (RefP) and the second current path () is coupled to a second reference input terminal (E) to apply a second reference potential (RefN). The at least one capacitor switch circuit () comprises a first controllable switch () being arranged between the second input node (E) of the differential operational amplifier () and the first current path (). The at least one capacitor switch circuit () comprises a second controllable switch () being arranged between the first input node (E) of the differential operational amplifier () and the second current path ().
