If the input signal d is at the high level in the first half period, the left half circuit starts to operate, if clkp is at the high level and clkn is at the low level at this time, the output voltage voutn starts to drop, voutp starts to rise, the stable value after voltage drop and rising is related to the magnitude of the phase difference between the input signals, db jumps to the high level when the input signal d jumps to the low level, the right half circuit starts to operate, if clkp is at the high level and clkn is at the low level at this time, the output voltage voutn starts to drop, voutn starts to rise, and the stable value after voltage drop and rising is related to the magnitude of the phase difference between the input signals.
The pipeline comparator comprises a first resistor voltage division network, a second resistor voltage division network and 16 comparators. As shown in fig. 2, the first resistor voltage-dividing network and the second resistor voltage-dividing network are symmetrical, each of the first resistor voltage-dividing network and the second resistor voltage-dividing network comprises two NMOS tubes and 16 resistors, the 16 resistors are connected in series between the two NMOS tubes, and the number of the resistors in the resistor voltage-dividing network is equal to that of the comparators; the output voltages of the phase discriminator are respectively connected with the input ends of the first resistor voltage dividing network and the second resistor voltage dividing network, and 16 output voltages are obtained after the first resistor voltage dividing network and the second resistor voltage dividing network divide voltages through the resistors; the 16 output voltages of the first resistor divider network are connected with the inverting input ends of the 16 comparators, the 16 output voltages of the second resistor divider network are connected with the non-inverting input ends of the 16 comparators, the output ends of the 16 comparators output state words, and the output state words are connected with subsequent digital circuits.
