hi,
I am designing a hysteresis comparator with 0.6um CMOS. The circuit is the classic topology which I refered from the book "CMOS analog circuit design"by Philip E.Allen and Douglas R.Holberg. The hysteresis of comparator is implemented by positive feedback in the input stage of a high-gain,open loop comparator. Pls. refer to the attached schematic.

In simulation, I found the hysteresis is sensitive to the mismatch of the input stage. e.g., if I set the differtial pair of input stage at 4% mismatch,the hysteresis will disapeared. It is a serious issue, beasue per my understanding, 4% mismatch is normal for CMOS process.

Can anyone give any idea to improve the mismatch issue on it?

Thanks in advance!
 

Hi Sunking,
Thanks for the helpful proposal. Woiuld you pls. explain the method "2. careful layout <1% mismatch " more clearly?

It means if I can layout it carefully,e.g., use centroid technique, it can be reduced to <1%?

For 0.6um CMOS, in nnormally, if I do the mismatch analysis, at what mismatch ratio, e.g.,1%,10%,or 15% should I consider in simulation?

Thanks in advance
