摘要: A latch-type voltage sense amplifier in 90nm CMOS is designed with a separated input and cross-coupled stage. This separation enables fast operation over a wide common-mode and supply voltage range. With a 1-sigma offset of 8mV, the circuit consumes 92fJ/decision with a 1.2 V supply. It has an input equivalent noise of 1.5 mV and requires 18ps setup-plus-hold time
