Abstract :
A new family of switched-capacitor (SC) circuits that can be used for a variety of applications is proposed. A typical circuit consists of several branches connected in parallel, each branch incorporating a capacitor in series with a semiconductor switch. The SC circuits are classified into three categories: (1) single-switch single-capacitor; (2) double-switched double-capacitor; and (3) triple-switch double-capacitor. Applications of these circuits, including reactive power control and active filters are presented.<>
