A low-offset latched comparator using zero-static power dynamic offset cancellation technique

A low-offset latched comparator using new dynamic offset cancellation technique is proposed. The new technique achieves low offset voltage without pre-amplifier and quiescent current. Furthermore the overdrive voltage of the input transistor can be optimized to reduce the offset voltage of the comparator independent of the input common mode voltage. A prototype comparator has been fabricated in 90 nm 9M1P CMOS technology with 152 ¿m2. Experimental results show that the comparator achieves 3.8 mV offset at 1 sigma at 500 MHz operating, while dissipating 39 ¿W from a 1.2 V supply.
