Performance Definition
Acquisition Time: the required time for the output transient after
the sampling signal.
Hold Settling Time: the time after the hold signal required for the
output to settle within an acceptable error.
Pedestal Error: due to the transition of sample to hold mode.
Voltage Drift: the rate of discharge of the sampling capacitor
during the hold mode.
Dynamic Range: the ratio of the maximum and minimum input level,
which can be sampled with a given resolution.
Performance Definition
Nonlinearity Error: the maximum deviation of the Vout/Vin
characteristic from the straight line passed through the end points.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): the ration of the signal power to the
noise power at the output. The sources of noise are the input and
output buffer, switch, and clock jitter.
Signal to Noise + Distortion Ratio (SNDR): the ration of signal power
to the total noise and harmonic power at the output. The source of
harmonics are the nonlinearity of the buffers and the switch.

Fig. Open-loop architecture with Miller capacitance. (a) Basic circuit; (b) equivalent circuit in
the acquisition mode; (c) equivalent circuit in the hold mode.
The open-loop architecture with Miller capacitance employs two different values of capacitance
in the acquisition and hold modes to achieve high speed and small pedestal error. This is
accomplished using a Miller amplifier that multiplies the effective value of the sampling capacitor
by a large number when the SHA enters the hold mode.
