Abstract
A sample-and-hold circuit of the disclosure includes: a differential pair that includes a first MOS transistor and a second MOS transistor, in which respective source terminals of the first MOS transistor and the second MOS transistor are interconnected to a specified node, and an input signal is input to a gate terminal of the first MOS transistor; a capacitor that is coupled to a gate terminal of the second MOS transistor, and samples and holds the input signal; a switch transistor that has a source terminal coupled to the capacitor and the gate terminal of the second MOS transistor, and causes the capacitor to sample and hold the input signal upon application of a predetermined ON voltage; and an ON-voltage control transistor that couples a gate terminal of the switch transistor to the specified node when causing the input signal to be sampled and held.
