Jigyasa Singh et al Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications RESEARCH ARICLE OPEN ACCESS A High Speed CMOS Current Comparator at Low Input Current Jigyasa Singh, Sampath Kumar V. JSS Academy of echnical Education, Noida 201301, India Abstract Analysis of high speed CMOS current is presented with low input impedance using a simple biasing method. he simulation results from PSPICE demonstrate the propagation delay at low input currents at supply voltages of 1.8v, 2v, 2. 2v and stability analysis using 0.25um CMOS technology. So it is suitable to high speed applications. Keywords Current s, propagation delay, positive feedback, signal processing. I. INRODUCION Current s are important building blocks within many analogue circuits designs. In particular, they are used for front-end signal processing applications and increasingly within neuromorphic electronic systems [1,2]. A/D converters may be designed using current-mode technologies. Since many digital and analog circuits have been tried to switch from voltage mode to current, mode operations. Current s may be the key elements. It consumes less power dissipation, achieves more dynamic range and high operation speed. hus the current mode circuit design methodology receives increasingly wide attention in recent years [3,4]. In order to detect low current with high speed, many current s have been proposed. he simplest current with positive feedback and low input impedance is shown in fig.1 [5] i.e. raff current. When the input current (Iin) flows into the circuit through V1, Vout is high. When input current (Iin) flows out of the circuit, Vout is low. CMOS inverters at the output stage to give rail-to-rail voltage swing. If the input current is small enough, there exists a deadband problem where the input impedance is quite high during input transition thus limiting the speed of operation. 1 2 Iin M1 M2 V2 M3 V1 M4 Fig.1 For reducing the deadband region of current change its biasing scheme from class B to class AB. Another approach using resistor feedback to detect small currents shown in fig.2 [6].A simple current-source inverting amplifier seems attractive for many applications, but its large output resistance prevents its use at high speed, especially for capacitive loads. High speed current requires low input impedance for increased current sourcing and sinking capability. Input and output resistance can be reduced by resistive feedback in first inverting amplifier in the input stage of current. More inverters are required at the output stage to produce rail-to-rail output swing. his is good for high speed at low input current but the power consumption is much higher due to constant current.

Jigyasa Singh et al Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications Fig.2 II. Since the response of original current s degrades drastically at low input current. One of the most significant problem of deadband has been minimized. Fig.3 shows the current which has one diode-connected enhance the speed. M8-M11 are the pairs of CMOS inverters to amplify the output signal. he two transistors Mp and Mn are used to adjust the inverter threshold voltage of M8 and M9 using different voltages values of Vn and Vp. For typical case Gate of Mp i.e. Vp is connected to ground and Mn i.e. Vn is connected to Vdd. Fig.3 transistor NMOS transistor instead of using two to provide voltage drop between the gates of M1 and M2. M3 and M5 forms the reference current generating stage. Input current (Iin) is connected to the first stage of the circuit. he drain and source of M4 is connected to the gates of M6 and M7. M4 is used to give higher current for charging and discharging the gates of M8 and M9 and thus III. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS he current is simulated for various input currents and compared with circuits of fig.[1] and fig.[2] at Vdd=1.8v,2v,2.2v using 0.25um. Fig.4,5,6 shows the transient analysis of three different current s. In this propagation delay of current s is presented. he propagation delay is defined as the difference of time 128 P a g e
