Abstract

The comparator includes an input unit, a load unit, a control switch, and an adjustment unit. The input ends of the input unit are connected to a first input signal and a second input signal. The load unit is connected to the input unit, and the gain of the comparator is adjusted by changing the gate voltages of the pair of gain adjustment transistors of the load unit. The adjustment unit is connected to the input unit, and the gate voltages of the pair of gain adjustment transistors are adjusted according to the enable state of the control switch. The present disclosure also provides an analog-to-digital converter.
