摘要:
Methods and apparatus for matching voltages between two or more circuits within an integrated circuit is disclosed. The apparatus includes a comparator circuit, comparing supply voltages to first and second circuits. The comparator outputs a variable error voltage based on the comparison, the error voltage related to the difference in voltages. The error voltage is supplied to a variable current control circuit that variably sinks one of the supply voltages to a common potential in order to increase the IR drop in the circuit supplying voltage to one of the first and second circuits, thereby affording voltage adjustment in order to match the first and second circuits. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
