Front-end sampling circuit and method for sampling signal

Abstract

A front-end sampling circuit includes a global switch, a local switch, and an auxiliary switch. The global switch is configured to be selectively turned on according to a first control signal, in order to transmit an input signal. The local switch is configured to be selectively turned on according to a second control signal, in order to transmit the input signal from the global switch to a node, wherein a storage circuit is coupled to the node to store the input signal. The auxiliary switch is configured to be selectively turned on according to a third control signal, in order to transmit the input signal to the node, in which a turn-off time point of the auxiliary switch is set to be the same or earlier than a turn-off time point of the global switch.
