Abstract
Disclosed is a sample and hold circuit and method capable of amplifying an input signal. The method includes: in a sample phase, receiving a first (second) input signal with top electrodes of first (second) capacitors, and receiving the second (first) input signal with all bottom electrode(s) of at least a part of the first (second) capacitors; in a hold phase, stopping receiving the first (second) input signal with the top electrodes of the first (second) capacitors, and receiving a first (second) group of reference signals with the bottom electrodes of the first (second) capacitors, so that the first (second) capacitors provide a first (second) sample voltage on the top electrodes of the multiple first (second) capacitors through charge redistribution, wherein the first and second input signals are a pair of differential signals and they are opposite to each other.
