Abstract

A sample and hold circuit has an analog switch, a hold capacitor, a voltage-follower type operational amplifier, and a ringing cancel circuit. The ringing cancel circuit is interposed between a non-inverted input terminal of the operational amplifier and a signal ground so that the ringing cancel circuit is connected in parallel with the hold capacitor. The ringing cancel circuit is made up of a resistance and a capacitor connected in series with each other. With this arrangement, a high-speed, highly accurate, low power consumptive sample and hold circuit can be realized.
