One or more first buffer amplifiers are coupled to the input matching network. A sampler array is coupled to the one or more first buffer amplifiers. The sampler array includes a plurality of instances of track and hold circuitry, each instance of the track and hold circuitry configured to generate an analog output signal. A plurality of second buffer amplifiers are coupled to the sampler array. Each second buffer amplifier comprises respective super source follower (SSF) circuitry and is configured to amplify a respective analog output signal of the sampler array.
