Question about simulating noise of switched capacitor S/H
Sep 19th, 2015, 10:21am
 
Hi,

I have a question about simulating the noise of a S/H circuit.

The method I am using right now is to simulate noise in sample and hold phase separately.

First, I put it in sample mode and simulate the noise over the sampling capacitor (CS) and hold capacitor (CH).

I used HSPICE .NOISE and integrated over entire frequency band. The result seems to match KT/C closely.

However, later I added a switch as noted in the diagram (represented by the red resistor Rp). If I use the noise voltage across capacitor + Rp, the noise is much higher. Rp contributes a lot of noise at higher frequency.

And I think I should use the noise voltage across the capacitor Cs only since it is the charge noise that we care.

Shall I include Rp in sample phase noise integration? Thanks!

For detailed information on how to simulate this kind of circuit, take a look at http://www.designers-guide.org/Analysis/sc-filters.pdf, http://go.mentor.com/4gfmm and http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=6218338. Please note that the relatively new fullspectrum option (see http://www.designers-guide.org/Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1413365305/4#4) is not yet mentioned in these presentations.

Thanks. I happen to watched this video yesterday. It is helpful.

I think from Equipartition theorem point of view, Rp should not matter for phase 1's total noise charge.
