Title: track and hold THD issue Post by ontheverge on Mar 4th, 2011, 11:45am Hi, I'm simulating a flip around track and hold circuit as 1st block for a 10bit pipeline ADC. circuit diagram and output waveform are as below: when I measure the THD at A (differential) it's ~-80dB, however only ~-30dB at B. all switches are bootstrapped ones and op-amp works fine (enough gain, no stb issue). my questions are : 1. ideally, should A and B give the same THD ( A tracks and hold the input sinusoidal wave, B is either 0 or the hold value of A); how much degradation should we expect in practice. 2. how do i improve THD at B, which is actually the input of the 1st pipeline stage (other than impoving feedback switch) Thanks a lot, Steve[edit][edit][/edit][/edit] |
Title: Re: track and hold THD issue Post by boe on Mar 29th, 2011, 8:14am ontheverge, How do you calculate the THD? Note that at point B you have a sampled system. Did you take this into account? B O E |
