Abstract: This paper is aimed towards the comparison between different dynamic comparators on some parameters like noise produced, uses of area, power consumption and use of any external circuitry. In this paper mainly double tail latch comparator, cross coupled double tail latch comparator, strong arm latch (SA) and dynamic bias comparator is compared in which at the same input rms noise level and at similar area usages, the power consumption of cross coupled double tail latch comparator is reduced nearly one fourth because the energy consumption per comparison is also reduced.
