A 200-MHz 15-mW BiCMOS sample-and-hold amplifier with 3 V supply
نویسنده
چکیده
A sample-and-hold amplifier designed for the front end of high-speed low-power analog-to-digital converters employs a BiCMOS sampling switch and a low-voltage amplifier to achieve a sampling rate of 200 MHz while allowing input/output voltage swings of 1.5 V with a 3-V supply. The circuit also incorporates a cancellation technique to relax the trade-off between the holdmode feedthrough and the sampling speed. Fabricated in a 20-GHz 1m BiCMOS technology, an experimental prototype exhibits a harmonic distortion of 65 dB with a 10-MHz analog input and occupies an area of 220 150 m: The measured feedthrough is 52 dB for a 50-MHz analog input and the droop rate is 40 V/ns.
