Description

Fast comparator
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic circuits, and particularly relates to a fast comparator.
Background
In general, a comparator includes three parts, i.e., a differential input stage, an intermediate load stage and a digital logic output stage, which are sequentially connected, and the differential input structure is used to increase the data transmission rate of the comparator and reduce noise, however, when a differential voltage occurs during the operation of the comparator, the NMOS in the intermediate load stage enters a deep linear region, at which time the output of the digital logic output stage is at a low level, and the PMOS in the intermediate load stage enters a deep linear region, at which time the output of the digital logic output stage is at a high level. When the high-low level is converted, the related MOS transistors are converted between the deep linear region and the saturation region, so that long conversion time is required, and the transmission delay of the comparator is long.
Taking fig. 1 as an example, a structure diagram of a general push-pull output comparator is provided, wherein a differential input stage comprises an input pair of transistors formed by two NMOS transistors NM1 and NM2 and a current source (tail current) IB, an intermediate load stage comprises two groups of load transistors, one group of load transistors comprises PMOS transistors PM3, PM4, PM5 and PM6, the other group of load transistors comprises NMOS transistors NM3, NM4, NM5 and NM6, and the intermediate load stage integrally forms a folded cascode amplifier which can amplify signals of the differential input stage by a larger factor; the circuit structure also comprises a common source amplifying stage, wherein the NMOS tube NM9 and the PMOS tube PM8 are used for further amplifying the input small differential mode signals; the output of the common source amplifying stage is connected to a digital buffer, and the PMOS tubes PM9 and PM10 and the NMOS tubes NM10 and NM11 output comparison results; the specific circuit connection relationship is shown in fig. 1, and will not be described again.
In operation, as in FIG. 1, the input pair tube current I1+I2 is equal to the tail current IB, and when VIP is greater than VIN, I2 increases and I1 decreases, i.e., I2> I1; while i3=i5-I1, i4=i6-I2. Since PM5/PM6 is the same in size and the gate-source voltage is the same, NM3/NM4 is the same in size and the gate-source voltage is the same, if PM5/PM6 is in the saturation region, i5=i6, i3=i4. Then since I1 is not equal to I2, it is stated that PM5/PM6, NM3/NM4 have devices into the linear region. By setting a reasonable bias voltage V1/V2/V5, PM3/PM5/NM5/NM3 can be ensured to work in a saturation region. Typically, I6 is less than or equal to I5, I4 is less than or equal to I3, and I2 is now greater than I1, then I4 must be less than I3, and it can be inferred that NM4 enters the linear region, i.e., point a is a relatively low voltage. At this time, the NM9 is in an off or weak on state, the NM9 drain output voltage is high, and VOUT outputs a logic high level after passing through the digital buffer.
Similarly, the input pair tube current I1+I2 is equal to the tail current IB, and when VIP is less than VIN, I2 is reduced and I1 is increased, i.e. I2< I1; while i3=i5-I1, i4=i6-I2. Since PM5/PM6 is the same in size and the gate-source voltage is the same, NM3/NM4 is the same in size and the gate-source voltage is the same, if PM5/PM6 is in the saturation region, i5=i6, i3=i4. Then since I1 is not equal to I2, it is stated that PM5/PM6, NM3/NM4 have devices into the linear region. By setting a reasonable bias voltage V1/V2/V5, PM3/PM5/NM5/NM3 can be ensured to work in a saturation region. Normally, I6 is less than or equal to I5, I4 is less than or equal to I3, I2 is now less than I1, if PM4 does not enter the linear region, I6 is equal to I5, I4 is greater than I3, which is not possible, so PM6 enters the linear region, point a is at a higher potential, NM9 is in a strong conduction state, the drain is pulled strongly to a lower potential, and VOUT outputs a logic low level after passing through the digital buffer.
As can be seen from the above working principle, when the input differential mode voltage is large enough, the output can be inverted correspondingly, and then the load tube of the folded cascode amplifier can switch between the linear region and the saturation region in the operation process of the comparator, that is, the node a changes greatly, referring to fig. 2, the switching usually takes a long time, so that the transmission delay of the comparator is long.
