Abstract
The demanding need of ultra-high speed, area efficient and power optimized analog-to-digital converter is forcing towards the exploration and usage of the dynamic regenerative comparator to minimize the power, area and maximize the speed. In this paper, detailed analysis of the delay for the various dynamic latch based comparators is presented and analytical expressions are derived. With the help of analytical expressions, the designer can obtain insight view of the different parameters, which are the contributors of the delay in the dynamic comparator. Based on the findings, various tradeoffs can be explored. Based on the literature and presented analysis, a new dynamic latch based comparator is proposed. The basic double tail dynamic latch based comparator and shared charge logic are modified for low-power and high-speed with the reduced power supply in the proposed comparator. With the modified structure of double tail latch comparator and adding the shared charge logic, the regeneration delay is reduced, at the same time, power consumption is also reduced. Simulation results in 90 nm CMOS technology confirm the claimed reductions. The simulation is carried out using 90 nm technology with a supply voltage of 1 V, at 1 GHz of frequency resulting into the delay of 50.9 ps while consuming 31.80 μW of power.
