Abstract:
According to an aspect of the present inventive concept there is provided voltage reference generator comprising: a voltage reference, a variable gain amplifier connected to an output terminal of the voltage reference, a sampling capacitor connected to an output terminal of the voltage reference generator and further connected to an output terminal of the variable gain amplifier via a sampling switch, said switch being adapted to close during a first portion of a switching period of said switch and said switch being adapted to open during a second portion of the switching period, a ripple monitor adapted to estimate a magnitude of variation of an output voltage of the voltage reference generator resulting from charging and discharging of the sampling capacitor, and to, based on the estimate, perform one of: control of the sampling switch to reduce a switching frequency of the sampling switch to increase a magnitude of the variation of the output voltage, and control of the sampling switch to increase the switching frequency, to decrease a magnitude of the variation of the output voltage.   There is also provided a method.

Claim (Index 17):
A method according to  claim 16 , further comprising, during a first switching period, form the first voltage by adding a predetermined offset voltage to the voltage of the monitor capacitor, and increasing the first and the second switching frequency in response to a comparison signal, said comparison signal indicating a result of the comparison, changing from a high level to a low level during the first switching period.
