Abstract: | This paper presents a new current copier which uses a differential‐pair as its storage cell. The differential‐pair storage unit (DPSU) significantly reduces clock‐feedthrough errors and achieves high linearity, large dynamic range, and less cross‐talk noise. Therefore, the proposed high‐performance DPSU can be used to improve the speed performance of analog‐to‐digital converters which implement the proposed fully differential switched‐current technique.
