Abstract

A capacitance multiplier circuit is configured to sense a current through a capacitor in an RC filter of the circuit and to multiply the current so as to achieve a capacitance multiplier effect without adding additional circuitry or requiring additional power. The circuit includes an RC filter, a first signal path connected to a filter output, and a second signal path connected to an input to the filter. A current output through the filter (iout) is split between the two paths, sensed in the first path and multiplied in the second path. The multiplied current is fed back from the second path to the filter input to raise the effective capacitance of capacitor C. The capacitance multiplier circuit, in raising the effective capacitance of the capacitor in the filter, does not affect the frequency response, linearity performance and / or stability of the overall circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] Example embodiments relate generally to a capacitance multiplier circuit and to a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) circuit with a capacitance multiplier. Background technique [0002] Typically in system-on-chip (SoC) integration, on-chip capacitors occupy a large amount of silicon real estate, so it is desirable to reduce the amount of surface area they occupy on the chip. One way to solve this problem has been to use a capacitance multiplier circuit on the chip so that smaller 1X capacitors can be formed on the chip, but depending on the design requirements of the capacitance in the circuit, the capacitance multiplication can be done on the chip. Acts as a 5X or 10X capacitor in the circuit. [0003] Capacitance multipliers can be broadly classified into two basic categories: voltage-based capacitance multipliers, such as Miller capacitance multipliers; and current-based capacitance multipliers. In its basic form, a Miller capacitance multiplier sens...
