  • Abstract
    In this paper a Track-and-Hold Amplifier (THA), designed in a low cost 0.35μm SiGe 60GHz technology is presented. Thanks to the joint action of a novel input buffer and a suppression feedthrough architecture, it is able to guarantee 62dB Total Harmonic Distortion(THD) up to a frequency of 2.2GHz with 0.9Vp-p differential input at a sampling rate (Fs) of 2.5GS/s. The THA core draws about 145mA from 3.5V supply.
