Title
A low-offset high-speed double-tail dual-rail dynamic latched comparator
Abstract
This paper presents a new dynamic latched comparator which shows lower input-referred latch offset voltage and higher load drivability than the conventional dynamic latched comparators. With two additional inverters inserted between the input- and output-stage of the conventional double-tail dynamic comparator, the gain preceding the regenerative latch stage was improved and the complementary version of the output-latch stage, which has bigger output drive current capability at the same area, was implemented. As a result, the circuit shows up to 25% less input-referred latch offset voltage and 44% less sensitivity of the delay versus the input voltage difference (delay/log(ΔVin)), which is about 17.2ps/decade, than the conventional double-tail latched comparator at approximately the same area and power consumption.
