System and method for reducing effects of switched capacitor kickback noise

摘要

A circuit includes a first input terminal, a first transmission line, a first sampling switch coupled to the first input terminal through the first transmission line, a first sampling capacitor coupled to the sampling switch, and a first open-circuit quarter wavelength stub coupled to the first transmission line, the first open-circuit quarter wavelength stub configured to reduce kickback noise on the first transmission line. A method for reducing kickback noise in a circuit includes determining a frequency associated with a kickback noise on a first transmission line of the circuit, the circuit having an input terminal coupled to the first transmission line, configuring a length of an open-circuit quarter wavelength stub to correspond to the determined frequency, and coupling the open-circuit quarter wavelength stub to the first transmission line to filter the frequency associated with the kickback noise.
