Abstract

A switch circuit for use in a single-ended switched-capacitor circuit for front-end circuitry of a sensor device is disclosed. The switch circuit comprises a first transistor and a second transistor having a same channel-type as the first transistor. A first node is connected to a source of the first transistor and a drain of the second transistor and a second node is connected to a drain of the first transistor and a source of the second transistor. Also disclosed is a sampling circuit comprising the switch circuit and a sampling capacitor, wherein the switch circuit is configurable to electrically couple the sampling capacitor to an integrator circuit or to a voltage reference. An integrated circuit device and a light to frequency converter or light sensor comprising the switch circuit is also disclosed.
