Charge balanced wideband track-and-hold boosted bootstrapped complementary input switch

Abstract

In an aspect, a circuit includes a first bootstrap capacitor configured to sample a varying input voltage during a first sample period. In an aspect, the circuit further includes a second bootstrap capacitor configured to sample the varying input voltage during a second sample period. In an aspect, the circuit also includes a switching circuit configured to connect and disconnect the first bootstrap capacitor and the second bootstrap capacitor from the varying input voltage during at least one hold period. In an aspect, the circuit additionally includes an input circuit configured to provide the varying input voltage to the first bootstrap capacitor and the second bootstrap capacitor responsive to a connection configuration of the switching circuit. The input circuit includes three complementary switch pairs. At least two of the three switch pairs are configured to share a common node that is, in turn, configured to receive the varying input voltage.
