Abstract

A method and apparatus for an adder-embedded dynamic preamplifier system with dynamic comparator and current mode adder including differential switches for precharging, a switch for evaluation; and reference, feedfoward input sections. When differential switches are closed, OUTN and OUTP are precharged. During the evaluation, discharging currents are proportionately determined by input and reference values. A following latch amplifies the discharging differences of OUTN and OUTP.
