Monolithic Sample-and-Hold Circuits
General Description
The LF198 is a monolithic sample-and-hold circuit which
utilizes BI-FET technology to obtain ultra-high dc accuracy
with fast acquisition of signal and low droop rate. Operating
as a unity gain follower, dc gain accuracy is 0.002% typical
and acquisition time is as low as 6 µs to 0.01%. A bipolar
input stage is used to achieve low offset voltage and wide
bandwidth. Input offset adjust is accomplished with a single
pin, and does not degrade input offset drift. The wide band-
width allows the LF198 to be included inside the feedback
loop of 1 MHz op amps without having stability problems.
Input impedance of 10
10
allows high source impedances to
be used without degrading accuracy.
P-channel junction FET’s are combined with bipolar devices
in the output amplifier to give droop rates as low as 5 mV/min
witha1µFhold capacitor. The JFET’s have much lower
noise than MOS devices used in previous designs and do
not exhibit high temperature instabilities. The overall design
guarantees no feed-through from input to output in the hold
mode, even for input signals equal to the supply voltages.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions
Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX,θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PD=(T
JMAX −T
A)/θJA, or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. .
Note 3: Although the differential voltage may not exceed the limits given, the common-mode voltage on the logic pins may be equal to the supply voltages without
causing damage to the circuit. For proper logic operation, however, one of the logic pins must always be at least 2V below the positive supply and 3V above the
negative supply.
Note 4: Hold step is sensitive to stray capacitive coupling between input logic signals and the hold capacitor. 1 pF, for instance, will create an additional 0.5 mV step
with a 5V logic swing and a 0.01µF hold capacitor. Magnitude of the hold step is inversely proportional to hold capacitor value.
Note 5: Leakage current is measured at a junction temperature of 25˚C. The effects of junction temperature rise due to power dissipation or elevated ambient can
be calculated by doubling the 25˚C value for each 11˚C increase in chip temperature. Leakage is guaranteed over full input signal range.

Application Hints
HOLD CAPACITOR
Hold step, acquisition time, and droop rate are the major
trade-offs in the selection of a hold capacitor value. Size and
cost may also become important for larger values. Use of the
curves included with this data sheet should be helpful in
selecting a reasonable value of capacitance. Keep in mind
that for fast repetition rates or tracking fast signals, the
capacitor drive currents may cause a significant temperature
rise in the LF198.
A significant source of error in an accurate sample and hold
circuit is dielectric absorption in the hold capacitor. A mylar
cap, for instance, may “sag back” up to 0.2% after a quick
change in voltage. A long sample time is required before the
circuit can be put back into the hold mode with this type of
capacitor. Dielectrics with very low hysteresis are polysty-
rene, polypropylene, and Teflon. Other types such as mica
and polycarbonate are not nearly as good. The advantage of
polypropylene over polystyrene is that it extends the maxi-
mum ambient temperature from 85˚C to 100˚C. Most ce-
ramic capacitors are unusable with >1% hysteresis. Ce-
ramic “NPO” or “COG” capacitors are now available for
125˚C operation and also have low dielectric absorption. For
more exact data, see the curve Dielectric Absorption Error.
The hysteresis numbers on the curve are final values, taken
after full relaxation. The hysteresis error can be significantly
reduced if the output of the LF198 is digitized quickly after
the hold mode is initiated. The hysteresis relaxation time
constant in polypropylene, for instance, is 10 50 ms. If
A-to-D conversion can be made within 1 ms, hysteresis error
will be reduced by a factor of ten.
DC AND AC ZEROING
DC zeroing is accomplished by connecting the offset adjust
pin to the wiper ofa1kpotentiometer which has one end
tied to V
+
and the other end tied through a resistor to ground.
The resistor should be selected to give 0.6 mA through the
1k potentiometer.
AC zeroing (hold step zeroing) can be obtained by adding an
inverter with the adjustment pot tied input to output. A 10 pF
capacitor from the wiper to the hold capacitor will give ±4mV
hold step adjustment with a 0.01 µF hold capacitor and 5V
logic supply. For larger logic swings, a smaller capacitor
(<10 pF) may be used.
LOGIC RISE TIME
For proper operation, logic signals into the LF198 must have
a minimum dV/dt of 1.0 V/µs. Slower signals will cause
excessive hold step. If a R/C network is used in front of the
logic input for signal delay, calculate the slope of the wave-
form at the threshold point to ensure that it is at least
1.0 V/µs.
SAMPLING DYNAMIC SIGNALS
Sample error to moving input signals probably causes more
confusion among sample-and-hold users than any other pa-
rameter. The primary reason for this is that many users make
the assumption that the sample and hold amplifier is truly
locked on to the input signal while in the sample mode. In
actuality, there are finite phase delays through the circuit
creating an input-output differential for fast moving signals.
In addition, although the output may have settled, the hold
capacitor has an additional lag due to the 300series
resistor on the chip. This means that at the moment the
“hold” command arrives, the hold capacitor voltage may be
somewhat different than the actual analog input. The effect
of these delays is opposite to the effect created by delays in
the logic which switches the circuit from sample to hold. For
example, consider an analog input of 20 Vp-p at 10 kHz.
Maximum dV/dt is 0.6 V/µs. With no analog phase delay and
100 ns logic delay, one could expect up to (0.1 µs) (0.6V/µs)
= 60 mVerror if the “hold” signal arrived near maximum dV/dt
of the input. A positive-going input would give a +60 mV
error. Now assume a 1 MHz (3 dB) bandwidth for the overall
analog loop. This generates a phase delay of 160 ns. If the
hold capacitor sees this exact delay, then error due to analog
delay will be (0.16 µs) (0.6 V/µs) = −96 mV. Total output error
is +60 mV (digital) −96 mV (analog) for a total of −36 mV. To
add to the confusion, analog delay is proportioned to hold
capacitor value while digital delay remains constant. A family
of curves (dynamic sampling error) is included to help esti-
mate errors.
A curve labeled Aperture Time has been included for sam-
pling conditions where the input is steady during the sam-
pling period, but may experience a sudden change nearly
coincident with the “hold” command. This curve is based on
a 1 mV error fed into the output.
A second curve, Hold Settling Time indicates the time re-
quired for the output to settle to 1 mV after the “hold”
command.
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH
Fast rise time logic signals can cause hold errors by feeding
externally into the analog input at the same time the amplifier
is put into the hold mode. To minimize this problem, board
layout should keep logic lines as far as possible from the
analog input and the C
h
pin. Grounded guarding traces may
also be used around the input line, especially if it is driven
from a high impedance source. Reducing high amplitude
logic signals to 2.5V will also help.
Guarding Technique
20122205
Use 10-pin layout. Guard around C
h
is tied to output.

Definition of Terms
Hold Step: The voltage step at the output of the sample and
hold when switching from sample mode to hold mode with a
steady (dc) analog input voltage. Logic swing is 5V.
Acquisition Time: The time required to acquire a new ana-
log input voltage with an output step of 10V. Note that
acquisition time is not just the time required for the output to
settle, but also includes the time required for all internal
nodes to settle so that the output assumes the proper value
when switched to the hold mode.
Gain Error: The ratio of output voltage swing to input volt-
age swing in the sample mode expressed as a per cent
difference.
Hold Settling Time: The time required for the output to
settle within 1 mV of final value after the “hold” logic com-
mand.
Dynamic Sampling Error: The error introduced into the
held output due to a changing analog input at the time the
hold command is given. Error is expressed in mV with a
given hold capacitor value and input slew rate. Note that this
error term occurs even for long sample times.
