DESCRIPTION
The SHC803 and SHC804 are high speed sample/hold
amplifiers designed for use in fast 12-bit data acquisi-
tion systems and signal processing systems. The SHC803
contains a fast-settling unity-gain amplifier for buffer-
ing high impedance sources or for use with CMOS
multiplexers.
The SHC804 acquires a 10V signal change in less than
350ns to ±1/2LSB at 12 bits. Throughput nonlinearity
error is guaranteed to be within ±1/2LSB for 12-bit
systems. Stability over temperature is excellent, with
only ±5ppm/°C of gain drift and ±4ppm of FSR/°C of
charge offset drift over the –25 to +85°C temperature
range.
The ±25ps maximum aperture uncertainty of SHC803
and SHC804 permits sampling (to ±0.01% of Full
Scale Range) of signals with rates of change of up to
100V/µs. These sample/holds have been optimized for
use with Burr-Brown’s high speed 12-bit analog-to-
digital converter, model ADC803. Together these com-
ponents are capable of accurately digitizing fast chang-
ing signals at sample rates as high as 500k samples per
second.
The digital inputs (HOLD and HOLD) are TTL-
compatible. Power supply requirements are ±15V and
+5V and the specification temperature range is –25°C
to +85°C. The SHC803 and SHC804 are packaged in
a 24-pin dual-in-line hermetic metal package. SHC804
is pin-compatible with other sample/holds on the
market with similar performance characteristics.

Hold mode due to storage capacitor and FET switch leakage
current and the input bias current of the output amplifier.
Feedthrough is the amount of output voltage change caused
by an input voltage change when the sample/hold is in the
Hold mode.
Aperture Delay Time is the time required to switch from
Sample to Hold. The time is measured from the 50% point
of the Hold mode control transition to the time at which the
output stops tracking the input.
Aperture Uncertainty Time is the nonrepeatibility of aper-
ture delay time.
Acquisition Time is the time required for the sample/hold
output to settle to within a given error band of its final value
when the sample/hold is switched from Hold to Sample.
Charge Offset (Pedestal) is the output voltage change that
results from charge coupled into the Hold capacitor through
the gate capacitance of the switching field effect transistor.
This charge appears as an offset at the output.
Sample-to-Hold Switching Transient is the switching tran-
sient which appears on the output when the sample/hold is
switched from Sample to Hold. Both the magnitude and the
settling time of the transient are specified.
OPERATION
A simplified circuit diagram of SHC803/804 is shown on
page 1. The SHC803 includes a noninverting unity-gain op
amp to serve as a source-impedance buffer when the sample/
hold is used with CMOS analog multiplexers. The SHC804
and SHC803 are identical except for this buffer.
In the Sample (track) mode the circuit acts as a unity-gain
inverting amplifier. In the Hold mode, the capacitor, CH,
holds the value of the output at the time the unit was
switched to the Hold mode. Additional circuits compensate
for switching transients and provide switch leakage current

DISCUSSION OF
SPECIFICATIONS
Throughput Nonlinearity is defined as total Hold mode,
nonadjustable, input to output error caused by charge offset,
gain nonlinearity, droop, feedthrough, and thermal tran-
sients. It is the inaccuracy due to these errors which cannot
be corrected by Offset and Gain adjustments.
Gain Error is the difference between the input and output
voltage magnitude (in the Sample mode) due to the amplifier
gain errors.
Droop Rate is the voltage decay at the output when in the

cancellation. The amplifier provides high current drive and
low output impedance to external loads.
GAIN, OFFSET, CHARGE OFFSET
SCH803 and SCH804 have been internally-trimmed to elimi-
nate the need for external trim potentiometers for Gain,
Offset (in Sample mode) and Charge Offset (Pedestal).
System Gain and Offset errors can be adjusted elsewhere in
the system, at an input amplifier preceding the sample/hold,
or at an analog-to-digital converter following the sample/
hold.
INSTALLATION
GROUNDING AND BYPASSING
SHC803 and SHC804 have four COMMON pins (pins 10,
15, 21 and 23) and all must be tied together and connected
to the system analog common (VCC COM) as close to the
package as possible. It is preferable to have a large ground
plane surrounding the sample/hold and have all four com-
mon pins soldered directly to it. Note that the metal case is
internally connected to pin 23; therefore, care must be taken
to avoid a ground loop if the case is allowed to contact the
ground plane.
Most digital return currents pass through pin 10. Noise from
the switch-drive circuit may couple directly into the main op
amp summing junction, a very noise-sensitive node. Care
must be taken to insure that no voltage differences occur
between pin 10 and the other common pins. This is the
reason pin 10 must be connected directly to the ground
plane.
For the same reason, the logic supply should be kept as free
of noise as possible. ±VCC supply lines (pins 24 and 22) are
internally bypassed to common with 0.01µF capacitors. It is
recommended that the user install additional external 0.1µF
to 1µF tantalum bypass capacitors at each supply pin.
SAMPLE/HOLD CONTROL
A TTL logic “0” at pin 11 (or a logic “1” at pin 12) switches
the SHC803/804 into the Sample (track) mode. In this mode,
the device acts as a unity-gain inverting amplifier, the output
following the inverse of the input. A logic “1” at pin 11 (or
a logic “0” at pin 12) will switch the SHC803/804 into the
Hold mode. The output voltages will be held constant at the
value present when the Hold command is given.
If pin 11 is used, pin 12 must be connected to the DCOM
(pin 10). If pin 12 is used, pin 11 must be tied to VDD. Using
the HOLD and HOLD inputs as logic function may ad-
versely affect the charge offset (pedestal). A clean digital
signal (no overshoot) at the HOLD of HOLD inputs will
also reduce charge offset errors. Pins 11 and 12 present less
than one standard TTL load (two LSTTL loads) to the digital
drive circuit.
OUTPUT LOADING
Care must be taken when loading the output of the SHC803/
804 to avoid possible oscillations, current limiting and
performance variations over temperature.
The maximum capacitive load to avoid oscillations is about
300pF. Recommended resistive load is 500 or more, al-
though values as low as 250 may be used. Acquisition and
sample-to-hold settling times are relatively unaffected by
resistive loads down to 250 in parallel with capacitive
loads up to 100pF. Higher capacitances will affect acquisi-
tion and settling times.
ANALOG SIGNAL SOURCE CONSIDERATIONS
The output impedance of the signal source driving the
SHC804 will affect the accuracy of the sample and hold
operation both statically (at DC) and dynamically. The
output impedance of the signal source should be low and
remain low over a wide bandwidth. A small capacitor at the
driving source may help to improve the charge offset errors
that are affected by dynamic source impedance.
SHC803 BUFFER AMPLIFIER
The buffer amplifier incorporated in the SHC803 provides
appropriate drive characteristics to the sample/hold ampli-
fier. Again a 20pF to 50pF capacitor added to the output of
the buffer amplifier may improve charge offset perfor-
mance.
The buffer amplifier is optimized for fast settling with
10Vp-p signals. However, for step input signals greater than
10V, a protection network (Figure 2) is required to prevent
the buffer from overload, resulting in excessive settling
time.
The data sheet for the Burr-Brown model ADC803 analog-
to-digital converter contains a sample printed circuit board
layout incorporating many of the above considerations.

APPLICATIONS
SIGNAL DIGITIZATION
Sample/hold amplifiers are commonly used to hold input
voltages to an A/D converter constant during conversion.
Digitizing errors result if the analog signal being digitized
varies excessively during conversion.
For example, the Burr-Brown ADC803 is a 12-bit succes-
sive-approximation converter with a 1.5µs conversion time.
To insure the accuracy of the output data, the analog input
signal to the A/D converter must not change more than
1/2LSB during the conversion.
The maximum rate of change for sine wave inputs is dv/dt
(max) = 2πAf (V/s). If one allows a 1/2LSB change (2.44mV)
for a ±10V input swing to the A/D converter, the allowable
input rate-of-change limit would be 2.44mV/1.5µs = 1.63mV/
µs. Thus the sampled sinusoidal signal frequency limit is
f = (1.63 X 103)/2πA = 259/A(Hz)
where A is the amplitude of the sine wave. For a ±10V sine
wave this corresponds to a frequency of 26Hz.
A sample/hold in front of the A/D converter “freezes” the
converter’s input signal whenever it is necessary to make a
conversion. The rate-of-change limitation calculated above
no longer exists. If a sample/hold has acquired an input
signal and is tracking it, the sample/hold can be commanded
to hold at any instant. There is a short delay between the time
the hold command is asserted and the time the circuit
actually holds. This delay is called aperture delay. The hold
command signal can usually be advanced in time to cause
the amplifier to hold when one wants it to hold.
The uncertainty in aperture delay, called aperture jitter, is a
key consideration. For the SHC803/804 there is a 25ps
maximum period during which the input signal should not
change, for example, more than 1/2LSB for 12-bit systems.
For a ±10V input range (1/2LSB = 2.44mV), the input signal
rate of change limitation is 2.44mV/25ps = 97.6V/µs. The
equivalent input sine wave frequency is
f = 97.6 X 106/2πA = 15.5/A(MHz),
60,000 times higher than using the A/D alone.
However, there are other considerations. The resampling
rate of an ADC803 is 1.5µs (A/D conversion time) + 0.3µs
(sample/hold acquisition time) = 1.8µs. If one samples a sine
wave at the Nyquist rate this permits sampling a frequency
of 278kHz. The above analysis assumed that the droop rate
of the sample/hold is negligible—less than 1/2LSB during
the conversion time—and that the large signal bandwidth
response of the sample/hold causes negligible waveform
distortion.
USING THE SHC804 WITH THE ADC803
ADC803 is a 1.5µs, 12-bit successive approximation A/D
converter. Its input circuitry has been designed to minimize
high frequency current transients that appear at the input of
successive approximation A/D converters. The SHC803 and
SHC804 have been designed with a fast-settling, low output-
impedance amplifier to further minimize the effects of high
frequency transient currents present in an output load.
A typical SHC804/ADC803 connection for high-speed digi-
tization is illustrated in Figure 3. A short delay must occur
before the A/D start command is asserted since the ADC803
makes its first conversion decision 100ns after the start
command is asserted. Because the SHC804 sample-to-hold
settling time is 150ns (maximum) the additional delay re-
quired is about 50ns. This can be achieved using a one-shot
or by using the delay provided by the six inverters of a hex
inverter integrated circuit. This combination can be trig-
gered at rates of over 500k samples per second.
Using the input buffer of the SHC803 provides a high input
impedance sample/hold for CMOS analog multiplexers such
as the high speed Burr-Brown MPC800. The high input
impedance of the SHC803 buffer minimizes DC errors
caused by the ON resistance of the multiplexer switches and/
or relatively high impedance signal sources (Figure 4). The
multiplexer can be switched to a new channel as soon as the
SHC803 is switched to the Hold mode. The multiplexer/
buffer combination settles to the new input value during the
sample/hold acquisition time and A/D conversion time. This
“overlap” technique results in little or no loss in throughput
rate.
