Two novel BiCMOS latched comparators operating at 3.3V with 8bit resolution are presented. They achieve approx.200MHz operation and exhibit lower power consumption than the conventional architecture. The first resembles a conventional bipolar latched comparator, with a variable load resistance which changes its value three times during the acquisition cycle. It achieves the highest speed and the lowest power consumption. The second includes a differential amplifier which unbalances a ground-referenced latch by current mirror action. It may be adapted to even lower supply voltages and exhibits negligible kick-back effects.

Abstract

Two novel BiCMOS latched comparators operating at 3.3V with 8bit resolution are presented. They achieve approx.200MHz operation and exhibit lower power consumption than the conventional architecture. The first resembles a conventional bipolar latched comparator, with a variable load resistance which changes its value three times during the acquisition cycle. It achieves the highest speed and the lowest power consumption. The second includes a differential amplifier which unbalances a ground-referenced latch by current mirror action. It may be adapted to even lower supply voltages and exhibits negligible kick-back effects.
