A comparator circuit includes a differential input stage, a second differential stage having a differential output, and an output stage transforming an output signal from the differential output of the second differential stage into an output signal having a logic level. The comparator further includes a common mode measuring stage. The common mode measuring stage includes a differential pair of input transistors and a differential pair of complementary transistors biased by respective current generators, and a current mirror summing the differential output currents of the two complementary transistors pairs into a single output current signal. A switching stage is controlled by the differential output nodes of the second differential stage. A common source node of the switch stage is coupled to the output of the common mode measuring stage and to the differential output nodes of the differential input stage.

Abstract
A comparator circuit includes a differential input stage, a second differential stage having a differential output, and an output stage transforming an output signal from the differential output of the second differential stage into an output signal having a logic level. The comparator further includes a common mode measuring stage. The common mode measuring stage includes a differential pair of input transistors and a differential pair of complementary transistors biased by respective current generators, and a current mirror summing the differential output currents of the two complementary transistors pairs into a single output current signal. A switching stage is controlled by the differential output nodes of the second differential stage. A common source node of the switch stage is coupled to the output of the common mode measuring stage and to the differential output nodes of the differential input stage.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
