Abstract

La présente invention concerne un commutateur d'échantillonnage d'amorçage qui a un condensateur C1 pour charger une tension VDD-VSS et un condensateur C3 pour charger des charges nulles pendant une période de maintien. Pendant une période d'échantillonnage, le condensateur C1 et le condensateur C3 sont raccordés en parallèle et ce circuit en parallèle est raccordé entre une borne d'entrée analogique Vin et la borne de commande d'un commutateur de commande électrique (M1) constitué d'un transistor MOS. Un rapport de capacité entre le condensateur C1 et le condensateur C3 est fixé à un rapport de capacité de telle sorte que la tension de commande du commutateur de commande électrique (M1) est réduite à une tension qui ne dépasse pas la tension de tenue d'un film d'oxyde de grille. En conséquence, on peut empêcher que la tension de tenue du film d'oxyde de grille dans le commutateur de commande électrique (M1) soit dépassée en ajoutant simplement le condensateur C3 sans provoquer une augmentation de la consommation de puissance ou du nombre d'éléments, et le commutateur de commande électrique (M1) peut être protégé de manière efficace.
