Substrate-enhanced comparator and electronic device

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a substrate-enhanced comparator and electronic device, the comparator including: a cross-coupled latch, for connecting input signals to the gate of a cross-coupled MOS transistor to form a first input of the latch; output buffers, connected to the cross-coupled latch for amplifying output signals of the latch; AC couplers, connected to the output buffers for receiving and amplifying the output signals of the latch, coupling the output signals to substrates of the cross-coupled MOS transistors to form second inputs of the latch. The cross-coupled latch is also for output signal regenerative latching based on input signals sampled at the first inputs and input signals sampled at the second inputs. The present disclosure introduces additional substrate inputs to the cross-coupled structure of the conventional latch as the second inputs of the latch.
