Abstract :
A new dynamic comparator with enhanced input range is reported. Input trip point deviations from ideal values are shown to be less than a conventional comparator over a wide input range. This new dynamic comparator can be beneficial to low supply voltage analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs), especially to pipeline ADCs.
