  • Abstract
    A current mode track-and-hold circuit designed for deglitching a 14-bit current steering DAC is presented. The deglitcher is based on a developed highly linear current memory. The prototype circuit is designed using a 0.35-µm BiCMOS (SiGe) technology. According to measurements, a -66.8-dBc THD is achieved with a 9.1-MHz input signal and 30-MHz clock frequency. Two-tone test gives intermodulation levels below 68 dBFS at 40-MS/s sampling rate. The power dissipation is 360 mW from a 3-V power supply.
