Sample and Hold (S/H) circuit:

It is used with an analog to digital converter to sample the input analog signal and hold the sample signal.

Circuit:-

F8 Tapesh 18-1-2021 Swati D18

Properties:

1. A S/H Circuit should have high input impedance and low output impedance because due to high input impedance loading effect [It is the degree to which a measurement instrument impact electrical properties (Voltage, Current, resistance) of a Circuit] is less and Circuit performance is better.

Conclusions:

for better circuit performance input impedance should be high and output impedance should be low.

Option 4 correct choice.
