Ultra-Low-Power Dynamic-Bias Comparators With Self-Clocked Latch in 65-nm CMOS

Ultra-Low-Power Dynamic-Bias Comparators With Self-Clocked Latch in 65-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This article introduces two comparators featuring a dynamic-bias preamplifier and self-clocked latches, tailored for ultra-low-power and medium-speed applications with <500- $\mu $ V input-referred noise (IRN). The proposed self-clocked latches are activated by the preamplifier outputs and therefore operate with a lower common-mode current, which in turn minimizes the crowbar current …
