Signal Folding

Pros
Folding reduces the comparator number by the folding factor F,
while the number of preamps remains the same.
Cons
Multiple differential pairs in the folder increases the output loading.
Frequency multiplication at the folder output.

Folding
Folding works better with non-overlapped active regions between
adjacent folders.
Large Vov (for high speed) of folders and low supply voltage limit
the max. achievable F.
Interpolation
Works better with closely spaced overlapped active region between
adjacent folding signals.
Observation
Small F and large P (parallel folders) will help both folding and
interpolation, but introduces large Cin approaching flash
What else can we do?
