7.1 Introduction
The design of linear active circuits typically involves multiple tradeoffs among
supply voltage, accuracy, power, speed, and other factors. However, an all-round
design that meets all the expectations is impracticable as we are living in a wonder-
ful and yet imperfect world. Depending on the application’s requirements and the
technology available, circuit designers may choose to optimize either one of these
fundamental design aspects.
This chapter investigates two major challenges that are of immediate relevance to
modern switched-capacitor (SC) circuits. One is to design hi
