    Abstract: High-speed sampler methods and structures are provided to enhance the correlation between an input signal Sin and a corresponding sampler output voltage Vout. An input buffer is enabled during sampling time periods and disabled during holding time periods. In the sampling time periods, a sampling capacitor Cs is directly charged through the input buffer and the capacitor's bottom plate to a charge that corresponds to the input signal Sin. In the holding time periods, the disabled input buffer is isolated from the sampling capacitor Cs and a common-mode signal Scm is directly coupled to the capacitor's bottom plate to provide the output voltage Vout at the capacitor's top plate. Preferably, an output capacitor Co is coupled to the sampling capacitor Cs and charge from the sampling capacitor Cs is transferred to the output capacitor Co.

    Abstract: A filter system includes a low pass filter, a first summer circuit, a second low pass filter and a second summer circuit. The first low pass filter includes an input, an output, a storage means, a switching means and a control means. An input signal is placed on the input. An output signal is generated on the output. The storage means provides storage of a signal sample over time. The switching means, when closed, electrically couples the input to the first end of the storage means. The switching means, when open electrically isolates the input from the first end of the storage means. The control means controls the switching means. The control means generates a switching control signal. The switching control signal has a sampling frequency. A maximum cutoff frequency of the low pass filter is dependent on a value of a capacitance provided by the storage means, the sampling frequency, and a pulse width of the switching control signal. The first summer circuit subtracts the output signal from the input signal to produce a high pass output signal. The second low pass filter receives the high pass output signal and produces a bandpass filtered output. The second summer circuit subtracts the bandpass filtered output from the input signal to produce a notch filtered output.

    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to prevent the charge stored in a hold capacitor from leaking via the switches connected to the electrode of the capacitor, in a sample-and-hold circuit, and to suppress the reduction in the voltage held in the capacitor, thereby improving the performance of the sample-and-hold circuit. The switches connected to the capacitor comprises two N-channel MOS transistors that are connected in series and are simultaneously turned on or off. During the period that the switches are in the OFF state, the potential at the interconnection node of the two transistors (one end of a first transistor) is set so as to be equal to that of the other end of the first transistor. Since the potential difference between the both ends of the first transistor thereby becomes zero, leakage currents via the first transistor is reduced, and charge leakage in the capacitor can be prevented.
