Abstract
A comparator 10 has a first stage differential amplifier 11 coupled to a second stage, single ended differential amplifier 12. The output of the second stage is coupled to a latch input stage 15 of a latch 16. A latch replica bias circuit 20 operates the second stage at a clamp voltage corresponding to the threshold voltage of latch 16. A clock signal clk switches the second stage 12 between gain and clamp modes.
