Patent attributes
A sample/hold circuit module. The sample/hold circuit module comprises a sample/hold circuit, an S/H controller, a pass transistor, and a high voltage generator. The sample/hold circuit comprises a capacitor and a sampling switch. The capacitor has a first electrode coupled to a first fixed voltage and a second electrode coupled to an output node of the sample/hold circuit module. The sampling switch comprises an output terminal coupled to the second electrode of the capacitor, an input terminal, and a control terminal. The S/H controller is coupled between the control terminal of the sampling switch and a second fixed voltage. The pass transistor has a sampling input terminal, an output terminal coupled to the input terminal of the sampling switch, and a control terminal. The high voltage generator is coupled between the control terminal of the pass transistor and the second fixed voltage.
