Abstract

A preamplifier circuit comprising six transistors is provided. The first transistor is coupled to a power supply line and the second transistor is coupled to a ground line. The first and second transistors are controlled by an enable signal. The third and fourth transistors are connected between the first and second transistors, for generating a first amplifier output signal in response to a first input signal. The fifth and sixth transistors are connected between the first and second transistors, for generating a second amplifier output signal in response to a second input signal. The first, third, and fifth transistors are of a first conductivity type, and the second, fourth, and sixth transistors are of a second conductivity type. The preamplifier circuit can be applied to any type of ADC that utilizes a comparator.
