Abstract
A charging circuit is provided to decrease the settling time of a reference capacitor storing a reference voltage for data acquisition circuits. The charging circuit includes one or more comparator circuits for comparing the voltage across the reference capacitor to the reference voltage provided by a reference source. If the voltage from the reference source deviates by a predetermined amount, one or more buffer circuits rapidly charge the reference capacitor to a voltage substantially equal to the new reference voltage. The reference source is then coupled directly to the capacitor to complete the charging of the capacitor to the new reference voltage.
