Popis: This paper presents a high-speed master-slave comparator in an ECL configuration. Implemented in 190 GHz SiGe HBT technology, the comparator occupies 0.7 x 0.7 mm2, including bondpads. The comparator can operate at a speed up to 20 GSample/s with a resolution of 7.2 bits per 1.2 Vp-p input. The low power consumption of the comparator itself (40 mW) and its small core area of 190 x 35 um2 make it suitable for medium resolution full-flash A/D converters and other low-power comparator applications.
