VOLTAGE SAMPLING USING AN ENERGY PULSE, AND RELATED SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES

Abstract:

A disclosed method includes: setting a connector of an acquisition circuit and an associated capacitor to a predetermined potential; providing an energy pulse of a predetermined first time duration to the connector; at a time occurring substantially at a predetermined second time duration after an end of the predetermined first time duration of the energy pulse, coupling the associated capacitor and the connector of the acquisition circuit; and sampling a voltage being exhibited across the associated capacitor.
