Abstract

A reference buffer circuit includes a first switched capacitor selectively coupled to a first node that receives a reference voltage from a buffer device connected to the first node. A second switched capacitor is selectively coupled to a voltage source to receive a charging voltage from the voltage source. A first switch is coupled to the first switched capacitor to switch communication of the first switched capacitor between the first node and a second node. And, a second switch is coupled to the second switched capacitor to switch communication of the second switched capacitor between the voltage source and the first node, wherein the second switched capacitor delivers the charging voltage to the first switched capacitor.
