  • Abstract
    An 8 bit 3 GHz HBT sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is demonstrated in a 0.5 μm, 55 GHz Si/SiGe HBT technology. An analysis of the switched-emitter-follower based sample-and-hold, along with improved circuit design techniques to minimize the high frequency sampling errors is presented. The bandwidth and dynamic range of this circuit, at the required sample rate, is superior to other SHNs in silicon technology. The SHA core consumed 90 mA from an 8 V supply.
