Abstract
A voltage divider is described. The voltage divider comprises a pair of input nodes for receiving an input signal; a pair of output nodes configured to generate an output signal; a first capacitor having a first terminal coupled to a first output node of the pair of output nodes and a second terminal coupled to a second output node of the pair of output nodes; and a second capacitor having first terminal and a second terminal; a bypass switch having a first terminal coupled to the first terminal of the second capacitor and a second terminal coupled to the second terminal of the second capacitor; and a charge sharing switch coupled to the second terminal of the second capacitor; wherein the bypass switch and the charge sharing switch enable the sharing of charge between the first capacitor and the second capacitor.
