Abstract: Data converter circuits are very essential circuit blocks in the implementation of low power and moderate speed electronic systems. In recent years, with more and more portable electronic systems being designed, developed and available in the market, it becomes essential to include more features in these systems. One of the main blocks in these systems is analog to digital converter, which uses a comparator inside it. With the purpose of improving the functionality of ADC circuit, a complete design and simulation. The comparators use regenerative feedback to convert the output to a full scale digital signal. The main parameters considered are power dissipation, gain, propagation delay, offset voltage and slew rate. The simulation is carried out in CMOS 90nm technology using spectre of cadence EDA tool. The simulation results permit the analog circuit designer to completely explore the tradeoffs such as operating speed and power consumption for flash ADC architecture. The power dissipation of the designed comparator circuit is 136µW, when operated at supply voltage of 1.2V and delay is simulated to be 526ps. The simulated results show that it can be used for a pipelined ADC architecture.
