Switched capacitor

Okay kiddo, let's talk about switched capacitors.

You know that capacitors are like little batteries that store electricity, right? Switched capacitors are like a special kind of battery that can quickly switch between different amounts of stored electricity.

Imagine you have a cup of water and you want to pour it into two glasses. One glass is big and one glass is small. To fill up the big glass, you need to pour water for a longer time, and to fill up the small glass, you only need to pour water for a short time. Now, imagine that the water in the cup is like the electricity stored in a switched capacitor, and the glasses are like electronic circuits that need different amounts of electricity at different times.

In an electronic circuit, there are times when you might need to quickly switch between different amounts of electricity. That's where a switched capacitor comes in handy. It works by using switches to change the amount of electricity stored in a capacitor, and then quickly switching between different capacitors to get the right amount of electricity at the right time.

Switched capacitors are often used in things like power amplifiers, filtering circuits, and digital-to-analog converters. They can help save space and power in electronic devices, and make them work more efficiently. So, that's switched capacitors in a nutshell - they're like special batteries that can quickly switch between different amounts of stored electricity to help electronic devices work better!
