Abstract

To meet the demands of quicker operation and reduced noise levels, this study proposes a new CMOS Three-based comparator version. Efficiency may be significantly improved by comparing the suggested model to existing ones. This is so because the suggested comparator would improve the efficiency of the current amplifier design. The suggested model drives the input pairs of the regenerator and the amplified stage, making for a quicker comparator. The structure allowed for significant time savings. The suggested solution integrates an NMOS pair into a PMOS structure to reduce noise. The ARM architecture’s positive feedback characteristic enables excellent comparison efficiency and low static power consumption with negligible leakage currents. There are a few limitations, nevertheless, that must be considered. Leakage current, which was previously mentioned as the latch’s primary source current, is what restricts the comparators’ speed. This leakage current originates from the pair in the input stage of the Strong ARM. The regeneration phase of the proposed model includes an additional signal to increase the speed of the suggested circuit further. The 16nm BSIM4 Model will verify the proposed model’s precision. According to the supplied model, a three-stage circuit may reduce noise by a factor of a few orders of magnitude while increasing speed by 34% compared to a two-stage circuit. Mentor Graphics’ 16nm BSIM4 Technology was used to verify the suggested model.
