ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an interleaved track and hold circuit for tracking and holding a value of a continuous input signal and to provide discrete values thereof, wherein the circuit comprises a first and a second stage. To avoid tones caused by differences in the non-ideal elements when switching through several parallel second stages the circuit according to the invention comprises a single first stage and at least two second stages.
