Abstract:
A comparator (10) includes a first input transistor (M0) having a drain coupled to a gate and drain of a first diode-connected transistor (M2) and a gate of a first current mirror output transistor (M4), and a second input transistor (M1) having a drain coupled to a gate and drain of a second diode-connected transistor (M3) and a gate of a second current mirror output transistor (M5). Sources of the first and second current mirror output transistors are connected to a supply voltage (VDD). Gates of the first and second input transistors are coupled to first (VIN−) and second (VIN+) input signals, respectively. Sources of the first and second diode-connected transistors are coupled to drains of the first and second current mirror output transistors, respectively. A latch circuit (M8,M9) is coupled to the drains of the first and second current mirror output transistors.
