Abstract

An amplifier includes a first switch and a second switch each having a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminals of the first and second switches respectively communicate with a first tank circuit and a second tank circuit. The second terminal of the second switch communicates with the second terminal of the first switch. A first capacitance having a first terminal connected directly to (i) the second terminal of the first switch and (ii) the second terminal of the second switch. A second terminal of the first capacitance is connected directly to a first input voltage of the amplifier. A first load is connected across (i) the first terminal of the first switch and (ii) the first terminal of the second switch. The amplifier generates a first output across the first load.
