    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sample-and-hold circuit includes a transistor arranged for switching between a sample mode and a hold mode and a bootstrap circuit arranged for maintaining in the sample mode a voltage level between a source terminal and a gate terminal of the transistor independent of the voltage at the source terminal and arranged for switching off the transistor in the hold mode. The bootstrap circuit includes a bootstrap capacitance arranged for being precharged to a given voltage during the hold mode, the bootstrap capacitance being connected between the source terminal and the gate terminal during the sample mode. In one example, the bootstrap circuit comprises a switched capacitor charge pump for generating the given voltage.

    Abstract: Methods and devices herein relate to a method for estimating bandwidth mismatch in a time-interleaved A/D converter. An example method includes precharging terminals of capacitors to a first state in each channel of a plurality of channels and sampling a reference analog input voltage signal (Vref) applied via a first switchable path whereby the sampled input voltage signal is received at first terminals of the capacitors. The method further includes setting the second terminals of each channel to a second state. The method also includes applying the reference analog input voltage signal to the first terminals via a second switchable path, and thereby creating on the first terminals a non-zero settling error. The method additionally includes quantizing the settling error to obtain an estimate of the non-zero settling error. The method yet further includes comparing the estimates of the non-zero settling errors and deriving an estimation of the bandwidth mismatch.
