A low‐offset low‐power and high‐speed dynamic latch comparator with a preamplifier‐enhanced stage

Abstract The preamplifier module is a crucial element while designing dynamic latch comparators. The traditional double tail comparator utilizes a differential pair as the preamplifier stage. The circuit is generally suffered from high power dissipation and low comparison speed. This research report...
