Abstract
Differential sampler structures are provided that reduce signal distortion and current demand. The structures include first and second buffers that drive first and second capacitors and first and second switches. First and second current pumps are capacitively coupled and also cross coupled to the first and second capacitors relative to the coupling of the first and second buffers to these capacitors. As a result, signal distortion and current demand are both reduced.
