Abstract
Methods and apparatus for digitally controlling a common-mode voltage of a comparator. An example comparator circuit generally includes a first comparator and a sensing circuit configured to digitally track a common-mode voltage of the first comparator. The comparator circuit may further include a first capacitive array having a common terminal coupled to a first input of the first comparator and selectively coupled to an input of the sensing circuit. The comparator circuit may further include a second capacitive array having a common terminal coupled to a second input of the first comparator and selectively coupled to the input of the sensing circuit.
