ABSTRACT:
A sample-and-hold circuit comprising a diode bridge that includes a first serial branch including first (T.sub.1) and second (D.sub.3) D.C. diodes connected in parallel with a second serial branch including third (T.sub.2) and fourth (D.sub.4) D.C. diodes. At least one end (B) common to the above two serial branches is connected to a first switchable current source (T.sub.3, T.sub.4, I) providing a sampling state in which the current source (I) is coupled to the first common end (B) and a blocking state in which it is uncoupled from the first common end (B). The first branch comprises an input terminal (E) for receiving an input voltage, and the second serial branch includes an output terminal (S) connected to a memory capacitor. In order to switch the bridge by means of a single current source, the third diode is constituted by the base-emitter path of a first transistor (T.sub.2) whose collector is connected to a supply voltage source. The second common end (A) of said two branches is now the junction point of the first (T.sub.1) and third (T.sub.2) diodes and a first resistor (R) is inserted between the second common end (A) and the supply voltage source (V.sub.cc). The first switchable current source is connected to the second common end (A) in the blocking state.
