A high accuracy BiCMOS sample and hold (S/H) circuit employed in the front end of a12bit 10 MS/s Pipeline ADC is presented. To reduce the nonlinearity error cause by the sampling switch, a signal dependent clock bootstrapping system is introduced. It is implemented using 0.6 um BiCMOS process. An 88.77 dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), and a -105.20 dB total harmonic distortion (THD) are obtained.
