Abstract
A fast digital sample resolution circuit comprising a dynamic ratioless inverter coupled to a static ratioed inverter, with positive capacitive feedback. A transistor node is precharged to one logic level. Any positive transition of an input signal causes the precharged node to begin discharging, thereby causing a capacitive feedback signal to rapidly reinforce the input signal. The resolution circuit minimizes the probability that its output is an ambiguous logic signal.
