70 GSa/s and 51 GHz bandwidth track‐and‐hold amplifier in InP DHBT process

Abstract: A differential 70 GSa/s track-and-hold amplifier has been designed and fabricated in a 320 GHz-f T InP double heterojunction bipolar transistor process. Measurements show a 51 GHz small-signal bandwidth with an S 11 parameter lower than −15 dB up to 56 GHz. The transient operation is verified up to 70 GSa/s. 60 GSa/s spectral measurements give total harmonic distortion <−46 dB up to 7 GHz and <−37 dB over the whole measurement range.Introduction: Most high sampling frequency and linear ADCs architectures often… Show more

“…The InP-based track-and-hold amplifiers [4]- [9] feature state-of-the-art performance, but the cost of the InP process is very high. The SiGe [3], [10]- [13] and CMOS [14]- [18] track-and-hold amplifiers have the advantages of high integration with analog and digital circuits, low voltage, and low cost for mass production.…”

“…The input and output buffers are designed to keep input and output waveforms with the same swing. The sample-and-hold stage of the track-and-hold circuit can be designed using a switched emitter follower topology [4], [7]- [9], [11], [13], switched source follower topology [1], [2], switched capacitor technique [15], [16], and self-calibration technique [19]. The switched emitter follower is often designed using the heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) in the compound InP or SiGe process to obtain high linearity with high-speed operation, but the dc power consumption is very high to limit for the low-voltage and low-power applications.…”
