Abstract
This disclosure provides a charging-steering amplifier circuit and the control method thereof. The charging-steering amplifier circuit includes a charging-steering differential amplifier and a sample and hold circuit. The charging-steering amplifier circuit operates in a reset phase or in an amplifying phase to amplify a differential input signal. The control method includes steps of: in the reset phase, obtaining a common mode voltage of the differential input signal according to the differential input signal; in the reset phase, providing the common mode voltage to one of the charging-steering differential amplifier and the sample and hold circuit; in the reset phase, sampling the differential input signal by the sample and hold circuit to generate a voltage signal; and in the amplifying phase, inputting the voltage signal to the charging-steering differential amplifier.
