Patent ID: 8692612

Claim:
An electronic regulation device, comprising: a regulation loop configured to generate binary regulation signals for a variable capacitance, the regulation loop including; a block of capacitors configured to emulate the variable capacitance, the block of capacitors including: a first array of capacitors configured to be selectively coupled in parallel and to be activated and deactivated by the binary regulation signals, the first array of capacitors including capacitors having respective binarily increasing capacitances from a first minimum capacitive value; and at least one second array of capacitors configured to be selectively coupled in parallel and to be activated and deactivated by the binary regulation signals, the at least one second array of capacitors at least partially including capacitors having binarily increasing capacitances starting from a second minimum capacitive value that is different from the first minimum capacitive value, the at least one second array of capacitors being configured to selectively activate capacitors of the at least one second array only when all of the capacitors of the first array of capacitors are activated.
