A Discrete Threshold Voltage Comparator with Zero Static Power Consumption

Abstract

The invention discloses a discrete threshold voltage comparator with zero static power consumption. The discrete threshold voltage comparator comprises a first transistor and a plurality of parallel threshold value adjustment branches, wherein each threshold value adjustment branch is connected with the first transistor and a digital enable bit of the voltage comparator, and each threshold value adjustment branch adjusts a threshold voltage of the voltage comparator according to a digital control signal received by the digital enable bit. According to the discrete threshold voltage comparator , the plurality of parallel threshold value adjustment branches are arranged in the voltage comparator, and the threshold voltage of the voltage comparator is adjusted based on the digital control signal received by the digital enable bit, thus the digital control of the threshold voltage of the voltage comparator is realized; and since the voltage comparator utilizes digital control for adjusting the threshold voltage, the threshold voltage is eliminated, the discrete threshold voltage comparator with zero static power consumption and adjustable threshold voltage values is implemented, reset operation is avoided and the system dead time is eliminated.
