Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating a switched capacitor circuit includes pre-charging a capacitor using a voltage buffer having an input coupled to an input node of the switched capacitor circuit and an output coupled to the capacitor, coupling the input node to the capacitor, wherein a first charge is collected on the capacitor, and integrating the first charge using an integrator.
