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 18):
A method according to  claim 17 , further comprising:\n during a second switching period subsequent to the first switching period, in response to the comparison signal remaining at the high level at expiry of the first switching period, forming the first voltage by subtracting the predetermined offset voltage from the voltage of the monitor capacitor, and thereafter: increasing the first and the second switching frequency in response to the comparison signal changing from a low level to a high level during the second switching period, and decreasing the first and the second switching frequency in response to the comparison signal remaining at a low level during the second switching period.
