Abstract
A pair of fixed capacitors are connected across a pair of serially coupled switched capacitors, the junction of the fixed capacitors being coupled to the floating node of the switched capacitors. As the polarities of the switched capacitors are switched, the fixed capacitors cause a partial discharge, thereby preventing charge from accumulating on the node.
