Abstract :
The sample and hold (S/H) function is an unavoidable building block for high speed analog to digital conversion (ADC) systems. Two types of S/Hs have been developed based on MESFET and diode bridge switches. The diode bridge version features 6 bit-linearity, 0.8 ns ocquisition time at 0.5 Gsps under Nyquist operating conditions. It constitutes the highest performance available catalog product.
