    摘要: Substantially-accurate calibration of output impedance of a device-under-test (DUT) to within a predetermined range of allowable impedance. The DUT is part of a source series terminated (SST) serial link transmitter, in which two branches of parallel transistors each provide an impedance value when particular transistors of the parallel branch are turned on. The impedance value is added to a series-connected resistor to provide the output impedance. The DUT consists of one branch of parallel transistors in series with a resistor. Output impedance of the DUT is compared to the resistance of a reference resistor, and the comparator provides a control signal based on whether the output impedance falls within the pre-set percentage variance of the reference resistance. The control signal is processed by a FSM (finite state machine) that individually turns on or off the transistors within the parallel branch until the DUT impedance value falls within the desired range.

    摘要: A body-biased enhanced current mirror reference circuit is disclosed wherein the body bias voltage of a current mirror device is varied to adjust its threshold voltage. Both the drain and body potentials of a replica mirror transistor are controlled to selected values. The drain is set to an expected DC voltage output of an NFET current mirror device. The body potential is set to a maximum desired value to prevent forward biasing of the body-to-diffusion junction(s) of one or more current mirror devices, which is accomplished by a feedback control circuit. A low-frequency, low-precision op amp drives the gate of a replica load device so that the body of the replica NFET current mirror device is set to a maximum bias voltage. The maximum bias voltage is also used to bias the body of a diode connected NMOS reference transistor, so that the current in the NFET current mirror device will be approximately equal to the current in the diode-connected NMOS reference. An auxiliary NFET current mirror device may be added to the body-biased enhanced current mirror circuit with the body connected to ground as in the unmodified current mirror to negate a non-monotonicity of the current output.

    摘要: A circuit having a precision passive circuit element, such as a resistor or a capacitor, with a target value of an electrical parameter is fabricated on a substrate with a plurality of independent parallel-connected passive circuit elements. The plurality of passive circuit elements are designed to have a plurality of values of the electrical parameter which are spaced or offset at or around the target value of the electrical parameter, such as three circuit elements with one having a value at the target value, one having a value above the target value, and one having a value below the target value. Each passive circuit element also has a fuse in series therewith. A reference calibration structure is also fabricated, which can be a passive circuit element having the target value of the electrical parameter, in a reference area of the substrate under the same conditions and at the same time as fabrication of the plurality of passive circuit elements. The actual component value of the reference calibration structure is then measured, and based upon the measurement a single precision passive element of the plurality of parallel passive circuit elements is selected by blowing the fuses of, and thus deselecting, the other independent parallel connected passive circuit elements.

The phase-locked loop includes a phase detector, a charge pump, a low pass filter, and a voltage control oscillator, wherein the low pass filter inputs a control voltage to a voltage controlled oscillator for generation of an output clock. According to the method and system disclosed herein, the self-adaptive voltage regulator is coupled to an output of the low pass filter for sensing the control voltage during normal operation of the phase-locked loop, and for dynamically adjusting the supply voltage, which is input to the voltage controlled oscillator in response to the control voltage, such that the phase-locked loop maintains the control voltage within a predefined range of a reference voltage.
