Abstract:
An input stage of a comparator includes a first transistor, wherein a gate of the first transistor is coupled to a first input of the input stage, a second transistor, wherein a gate of the second transistor is coupled to a second input of the input stage, a third transistor coupled in series with the first transistor, and a fourth transistor coupled in series with the second transistor. The input stage also includes a fifth transistor, wherein a gate of the fifth transistor is configured to receive a first decision feedback signal, and a drain of the fifth transistor is coupled to a gate of the third transistor. The input stage further includes a sixth transistor, wherein a gate of the sixth transistor is configured to receive a second decision feedback signal, and a drain of the sixth transistor is coupled to a gate of the fourth transistor.
