  1. A sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit, having a holding capacitor of 0.1 nF, is used at the input of an ADC (analog-to-digital converter). The conversion time of the ADC is 1 μsec, and during this time, the capacitor should not lose more than 0.5% of the charge put across it during the sampling time. The maximum value of the input signal to the S/ H circuit is 5V. The leakage current of the S/H circuit should be less than _____________μA
    1. 4.5
    2. 5.5
    3. 3.5
    4. 2.5
Correct Option: D

I =
Q
=
0.5/100 × Q
tt

=
0.005 × CV
=
0.5 × 10-10 × 5
10-610-6

= 25 × 10-7 = 2.5 μA.
