Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide a sampling circuit with reduced sampling distortions. The sampling circuit can include a switch and a first driving module configured to drive a first signal in response to an input signal onto a first channel terminal of the switch. The sampling circuit also can include a bootstrap module coupled to a control terminal of the switch and a second driving module coupled to the bootstrap module. The second driving module can be configured to drive a second signal in response to the input signal to the bootstrap module, such that the bootstrap module can vary a control voltage on the control terminal based on the input signal for turning on the switch and causing an output voltage on a second channel terminal of the switch to track the first signal on the first channel terminal of the switch.
