Abstract
Provided is a gain amplifier having a switched-capacitor structure capable of minimizing settling time, in which an input capacitor is connected to an input terminal during a first clock sampling an input signal, and thus an output terminal of the amplifier is reset in advance to an estimated output voltage value rather than 0 by the input capacitor. Accordingly, the slight move of the output terminal of the amplifier is sufficient to settle to a desired value in an amplification mode, so that slewing time can be reduced, and as a result, overall settling time and power consumption can be minimized.
