Abstract:
A current steering comparator includes an amplifier circuit, a bias circuit, a latch circuit, and a detector circuit. The amplifier circuit is configured to compare a first input signal with a second input signal during a comparison phase, in order to output a first signal and a second signal. The bias circuit is configured to utilize a tunable capacitor to bias the amplifier circuit during the comparison phase. The latch circuit is configured to generate a first output signal and a second output signal according to the first signal and the second signal during the comparison phase. The detector circuit is configured to detect the first output signal and the second output signal according to a predetermined clock signal to generate a control signal, in order to adjust the tunable capacitor.
