hai all, I have designed a conventional dynamic and a double tail comparator in 180nm tecnology. To measure the offset voltage I did DC analysis by setting one of my input at .9V and other as a ramp signal of amplitude 1.8V. The clock frequency is 500 MHz and the supply voltage is 1.8V. I got the transient analysis as expected. But in the DC analysis the curve swings between 7nV and 8nV. Is there any fault in the method that I have followed. I don't understand what the problem is. This procedure worked for preamplifier based comparator. Do I need to follow any other method for clocked comparators? I am designing my circuit in Mentor Graphics. Please do help me to sort out this problem..
 

You are going to have "binning" of results due to the clock
and the only way to better resolution is a slower ramp or a
feedback test loop (attenuator and integrator).
