Opto-THC - Optoelectronic tracking and sustaining amplifier

Summary

Follow-up circuits or track-and-hold (TH) circuits, along with analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), are the link from the analog to the digital world. One way to improve the TH's properties is through optical triggering. Opto-THC can be used in many areas of communication technology, sensor technology and control engineering

Technology Benefits

Excellent jitter
Excellent resolution
High bandwidth
High linearity
High immunity to common-mode signals and noise

Technology Application

Opto-THC can be used in many areas of communication technology, sensor technology and control engineering. In particular, when the application places high demands on bandwidth and effective resolution, Opto-THC can exploit its advantages.

Detailed Technology Description

Opto-THC uses the direct optical control of a switching element. The circuitry may be used for both differential and non-differential circuitry. Opto-THC allows reduced jitter of the sampling clock. Opto-THC allows also shorter switching time (aperture), lower aperture uncertainty due to the low jitter of the optical clock, excellent effective resolution due to the low clock jitter of the optical clock, high linearity sampling, high bandwidth and high immunity to common mode and common mode noise.
