Abstract

A novel high-speed low-power CMOS balanced comparator circuit is proposed and implemented in an 8M fully parallel analog-to-digital (A/D) converter IC. A 20-MHz sampling rate with 350-mW power dissipation from a single 5-V power supply has been realized. Integral linearity of /spl plusmn/ 1/2 LSB to 8-bit conversion has been achieved through intensive transistor dimension optimization applied to the comparator circuit, instead of employing an offset canceling technique.
