Abstract:
A sample and hold system, for capturing and reading at least one input signal. The system comprises a readout device, a controller, an array of segments comprising a plurality of unit cells and a dummy unit cell, and segment switches between the segments and the readout device. The controller is adapted for controlling the system such that: during an acquisition phase a trace of samples is taken from the input signal and held in the unit cells; during a readout phase the samples in the unit cells or in the dummy unit cells of a segment are read out by readout device; after opening or closing the segment switches the dummy unit cell, is the first cell which is read out by the readout device.

Claim (Index 1):
A sample and hold system, for capturing and reading a trace of at least one input signal, the sample and hold system comprising a readout device, a controller, an array of segments, each segment comprising a plurality of unit cells and a dummy unit cell, and access switches for controlling the access to the unit cells and the dummy unit cells, wherein at least part or all of the access switches are segment switches which are present between the segments and the readout device, wherein the controller is adapted for controlling the sample and hold system, such that during an acquisition phase a trace of samples is taken from the input signal and held in the unit cells and such that during a readout phase the samples held in the unit cells or in the dummy unit cells are read out by the readout device, wherein the controller is adapted for controlling the sample and hold system, such that the dummy unit cells are sampled in a period when there is no input signal, and such that after configuring the segment switches to connect a segment to the reading device, the dummy unit cell, is the first cell which is read out by the readout device resulting in a readout value wherein the sample and hold system is adapted for ignoring the readout value of the dummy unit cells during further processing.
