Abstract

The invention discloses a method for increasing comparison speed of a comparator circuit, a charge pump and an improved comparator circuit, and relates to the field of comparator circuits. The limit of a power voltage to the speed of a comparator is reduced, and the comparison speed of the comparator is increased at the low power voltage. The charge pump comprises a first switch, a second switch, a third switch and a charge pump capacitor, wherein one end of the first switch is connected with a voltage boost source of the charge pump, and the other end of the first switch is connected with the comparator circuit; one end of the second switch is grounded, and the other end of the second switch is connected with the charge pump capacitor; one end of the third switch is connected with the power voltage and the other end of the third switch is connected with the charge pump capacitor; the second switch and the third switch are connected with the same side of the charge pump capacitor; and one end of the charge pump capacitor not connected with one end of the second switch is connected with the comparator circuit. The method for increasing comparison speed of the comparator circuit is applied to the comparator circuit.
