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 1):
A voltage reference generator comprising:\n 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 of the voltage reference generator, said switch being adapted to alternate between a closed state and an open state, wherein the closed state spans a first portion of a switching period of said switch, and the open state spans a second portion of the switching period, a ripple monitor adapted to estimate a magnitude of a variation of an output voltage of the voltage reference generator resulting from the switch alternating between the closed state and the open state, 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.
