Abstract
A fully differential switched-current memory cell with low charge-injection errors is proposed. The cell uses constant-voltage switching to obtain sig nal-independent charge injection, which is rejected using suitable differen tial structures. The cell is designed using a 0.35 mum digital CMOS process . Simulation results of the cell with a clock frequency of 13 MHz and with input signal amplitudes nearly as high as the bias current (600 muA) show a total harmonic distortion of -66dB, a current transfer error. Of less than 0.4% and a signal-to-noise ratio of 60dB.
