Monolithic Sample-and-Hold Circuits
General Description
Features
n Operates from 5V to 18V supplies
n Less than 10 µs acquisition time
n TTL, PMOS, CMOS compatible logic input
n 0.5 mV typical hold step at Ch = 0.01 µF
n Low input offset
The LF198 is a monolithic sample-and-hold circuit which
utilizes BI-FET technology to obtain ultra-high dc accuracy
with fast acquisition of signal and low droop rate. Operating
as a unity gain follower, dc gain accuracy is 0.002% typical
and acquisition time is as low as 6 µs to 0.01%. A bipolar
input stage is used to achieve low offset voltage and wide
bandwidth. Input offset adjust is accomplished with a single
pin, and does not degrade input offset drift. The wide band-
width allows the LF198 to be included inside the feedback
loop of 1 MHz op amps without having stability problems.
Input impedance of 1010Ω allows high source impedances to
be used without degrading accuracy.
n 0.002% gain accuracy
n Low output noise in hold mode
n Input characteristics do not change during hold mode
n High supply rejection ratio in sample or hold
n Wide bandwidth
Logic inputs on the LF198 are fully differential with low input
current, allowing direct connection to TTL, PMOS, and
CMOS. Differential threshold is 1.4V. The LF198 will operate
from 5V to 18V supplies.
P-channel junction FET’s are combined with bipolar devices
in the output amplifier to give droop rates as low as 5 mV/min
with a 1 µF hold capacitor. The JFET’s have much lower
noise than MOS devices used in previous designs and do
not exhibit high temperature instabilities. The overall design
guarantees no feed-through from input to output in the hold
mode, even for input signals equal to the supply voltages.
