Abstract
A MOS switching circuit (1) for providing constant signal-independent gate-to-source voltage at a switching transistor (2) of a differential switched capacitor circuit so that a signal-independent resistance is provided between its source and drain includes a first control transistor (5) coupled between the input (3) and the gate of the switching transistor (2). The gate of switching transistor (2) is also coupled to a first clock phase signal PHI1 and the gate of the first control transistor (5) is coupled to a second, non-overlapping clock phase signal PHI2. A second control transistor (6) is coupled between the input (3) and the second clock phase signal PHI2 and its gate is coupled to the first clock phase signal PHI1. Capacitors (7) and (8) are coupled between the transistors (2, 5 and 6) and the clock phase signals PHI1 and PHI2, respectively.
