Abstract
A high-speed dynamic comparator with preamplifier and automatic dc offset calibration in all stages is proposed in this paper. The offset compensation is applied in two stages, following a two-part sequential loop training topology, offering significant reduction of the dc offset in each stage. The final resolution is improved with a final value less than 800 μV operating at 7.5 GHz clock speed. The dynamic comparator stage is a double-tail topology while the calibration topology is based on a current injection technique, instead of the commonly used capacitive calibration which can reduce the operating speed. Designed in a CMOS 65 nm technology node, the circuit operates with 1 V supply voltage. Results of PVT Monte Carlo post-layout simulations verify the operation of the proposed topology.
期刊介绍:
AEÜ is an international scientific journal which publishes both original works and invited tutorials. The journal''s scope covers all aspects of theory and design of circuits, systems and devices for electronics, signal processing, and communication, including:
signal and system theory, digital signal processing
network theory and circuit design
information theory, communication theory and techniques, modulation, source and channel coding
switching theory and techniques, communication protocols
optical communications
microwave theory and techniques, radar, sonar
antennas, wave propagation
AEÜ publishes full papers and letters with very short turn around time but a high standard review process. Review cycles are typically finished within twelve weeks by application of modern electronic communication facilities.
