Abstract: The accuracy of A/D and D/A converters depend largely upon their inner comparators. To guarantee 12-bit high resolution for an A/D converter, a precise CMOS comparator consisting of a three-stage differential preamplifier together with a positive feedback latch is proposed. Circuit structure, gain, the principle of input offset voltage storage and latching time constant for the comparator will be analyzed and optimized in this article. With 0.5 μm HYNIX mixed signal technology, the simulation result shows that the circuit has a precision of 400 μV at 20 MHz. The test result shows that the circuit has a precision of 600 μV at 16 MHz, and dissipates only 78 μW of power dissipation at 5 V. The size of the chip is 210×180 μm2. The comparator has been successfully used in a 10 MSPS 12-bit A/D converter. The circuit can be also used in a less than 13-bit A/D converter.
