Abstract
A sample-and-hold circuit comprises an analog signal control circuit for supplying a potential of an input signal to one end of a hold capacitor, a first transistor having a base connected to the one end of the hold capacitor and operating in an emitter follower fashion, an amplifier having a second transistor having a base connected to an emitter of the first transistor, and a leak current compensating circuit including a third transistor having an emitter connected to a collector of the first transistor and a current mirror circuit for supplying to the base of the first transistor the same current as a base current of the third transistor.
