Abstract
A capacitor ratio multiplier has a switched capacitor for switching between sampling, sharing and delivering charge modes. During the sampling mode, the switched capacitor receives charge from a port in a circuit. During th sharing mode, the switched capacitor is paralleled by a sharing capacitor and is partially discharged thereby. The switched capacitor is connected to a port in the circuit for delivering charge. The sharing capacitor is discharged prior to sharing charge with the switched capacitor.
