Abstract :
Within the field of delta-sigma modulators utilizing switched-capacitor structures it is of great importance to use non-overlapping clocks. The circuit presented in this document generates these signals without the need of feedback loops. To verify the timing of non-overlapping clocks, an integrated circuit is introduced that is capable of sampling fast clock signals and forwards the processed data to the measurement equipment.
