Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of analog circuit signal processing, and in particular relates to a dynamic comparator circuit with low power consumption. Background technique [0002] Comparators are one of the important analog circuit modules in modern integrated circuit systems, and are widely used in AD / DA conversion systems, automotive electronics, biomedical and other fields. With the continuous development of the integrated circuit industry, the power consumption requirements for a single module are particularly prominent. As one of the common and important modules, the comparator can greatly benefit from the reduction of its power consumption. [0003] figure 1 It is a traditional dynamic comparator circuit, and its basic working principle is to use the difference between the input voltages of the input pair tubes (ie, NMOS transistors MN2 and MN3) in the comparator comparison stage, thereby generating two currents with a differe...
