Equivalent Circuits for the Analysis and Synthesis of Switched Capacitor Networks

An extensive library of z-domain building block equivalent circuits is derived to facilitate the analysis and synthesis of switched capacitor (sc) networks. These sc building blocks, typically comprised of a single capacitor and from one to four switches, serve as basic circuit elements for sc networks in much the same spirit that resistors and capacitors serve analog networks. This building block library facilitates the derivation of canonic z-domain equivalent circuits for complex sc networks and the application of well-established mathematical network analysis and synthesis toots. What has been sought are easily applied techniques for achieving the same insights for sc networks that we have long enjoyed with analog networks.
