Abstract
A voltage track and hold circuit operates to track a tuning voltage and holding the tuning voltage (404) as a reference voltage (408). In the track mode, the track and hold circuit includes a first operational transconductance amplifier (401) and a first charge storage device (402) coupled to a first input (403) of the first operational transconductance amplifier (401). The first charge storage device (402) accumulates a charge that corresponds with the tuning voltage (404). A second charge storage device (405) is coupled to a second input (406) and an output (407) of the first operational transconductance amplifier (401). The second charge storage device (405) accumulates a reference charge such that the reference voltage (408) present at the second charge storage device (405) is substantially equivalent to the tuning voltage (404).
