Abstract
A method and circuit for adjusting clock pulse widths in a high speed sample and hold circuit. A single phase clock signal is input into a pulse discriminator and separated into rising and falling edges. The edges are adjusted to a desired slope. The adjusted edges and the unadjusted edges are summed and output as multiple clock signals with a desired pulse edge alignment. The clock signals control switches in a manner to reduce signal dependent sampling distortion.
