Abstract
This paper describes design techniques for high-speed low-voltage sample-and-hold amplifiers used at the front-end of analog-to-digital converters. These techniques have been utilized in two 3-V sampling circuits, namely, a 100-MHz 10-mW all-npn implementation employing capacitive coupling between the input and output, and a 200-MHz 15-mW BiCMOS design using a low-voltage sampling switch. Each circuit allows swings of 1.5 V, providing 10 bits of dynamic range in a 3-V system.
