  • Patent number: 11493543
    Abstract: A voltage comparator and an operation method thereof are provided. The voltage comparator includes an amplifying circuit, a reference current source, and a transient current source. A first input terminal and a second input terminal of the amplifying circuit respectively receive a first corresponding voltage corresponding to a target voltage and a reference voltage. The reference current source is coupled to the amplifying circuit to provide a reference current. The transient current source is coupled to the amplifying circuit to selectively provide a transient current. The transient current source detects a transition of a second corresponding voltage corresponding to the target voltage to dynamically adjust the transient current. Therefore, when a rapidly increasing voltage occurs in the target voltage, the transient current source may temporarily increase the current of the amplifying circuit, thereby accelerating the response speed of the amplifying circuit.
