    Abstract: A circuit includes an amplifier circuit that receives a residue voltage from an output capacitor connected to an output of a digital to analog converter (DAC). The DAC is employed in a pipeline stage of an analog to digital converter (ADC). The amplifier circuit provides a scaled output voltage based on the residue voltage. A sample circuit samples the scaled output voltage during a first portion of a hold phase of the DAC. A discharge circuit supplies the sampled scaled output voltage to the output of the DAC during a second portion of the hold phase of the DAC to mitigate settling time of the DAC.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides an amplifier. The amplifier includes a first transistor that receives a first input and generates a first load current. A first output node is coupled to a power supply through a first load resistor. The first load resistor receives the first load current. A first capacitor network is coupled to the first output node and draws a first capacitive current from the first output node. A first current buffer is coupled between the first output node and the first transistor. A current through the first current buffer is a summation of the first load current and the first capacitive current.
