Abstract

A simple new continuous-time CMOS comparator circuit with rail-to-rail input common-mode range and rail-to-rail output is presented. This design uses parallel complementary decision paths to accommodate power-supply-valued inputs. The 2 decision results are combined at a current summing node, converted to a voltage, and buffered to drive voltage loads. The circuit has been realized in an area of 416 μm×221 μm in a MOSIS 2-micron CMOS technology. Average delay of about 63 ns has been measured at 3 V (1.3 mA), and about 89 ns at 5 V (1.1 mA).
