Abstract
A circuit includes an input, two or more sampling capacitors each in a different channel, means for connecting each sampling capacitor to the input, means for discharging the sampling capacitors to a given voltage in a reset phase, and means to use the voltage across the sampling capacitor for further processing in a hold phase. The two sampling capacitors operate in anti-phase such that the reset phase and sampling phase of one channel are performed in the time period the other channel is in the hold phase.
