ABSTRACT:
A circuit comprising a first switch for sampling a differential signal and a second switch for level-shifting the sampled differential signal is disclosed. The first and second switches are cross-coupled to cancel a charge injected between the first and second switches and for linearizing the charge transfer; and a capacitor coupled is between the first and second switches. A circuit in accordance with the present invention adds an extra sampling switch to the sampling circuit and an extra charge-transfer switch in the level-shifting circuit. By cross-coupling these extra switches, the result is a cancellation of the charge-injection, and thus linearizing the charge transfer.
