Abstract
Circuit intricacy, high-speed, low-power, small area requirement, and high resolution are crucial factors for high-speed and low-power applications like analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The delay analysis of classical dynamic latch comparators is presented to add more insight of their design parameters, which effects the performance parameter. In this research, a new architecture of dynamic latch comparator is presented, which is able to provide high-speed, consumes low-power and requires smaller die area. The proposed comparator benefits from a new shared charge logic based reset technique to achieve high-speed with low-power consumption. It is shown by simulation and analysis that the delay time is significantly reduced compared to a conventional dynamic latched comparator. The proposed circuit is designed and simulated in 90â¯nm CMOS technology. The results show that, for the proposed comparator, the delay is 51.7 ps and consumes only 33.62⯠μW power, at 1â¯V supply voltage and 1â¯GHz clock frequency. In addition, the proposed dynamic latch comparator has a layout size of 7.2μmâ¯Ãâ¯8.1μm.
