A novel fully complementary and fully differential open-loop comparator topology, that consists of a two-stage preamplifier cascaded with a latch, achieves a sub-100 ps propagation delay for a 50 mVpp input signal amplitude under 1.1V supply and 2.1mW power consumption. The comparator features two differential pairs of inputs and is truly self-biased through a negative feedback loop thereby eliminating the need for a voltage reference and suppressing the influence of process, supply voltage and temperature variations. Proposed comparator occupies 0.001mm2 in 40nm LP CMOS process.
