摘要： Some aspects of this disclosure provide for electronic design automation (EDA) techniques that check whether individual blocks, such as transistors or other semiconductor devices, are connected to their correct power domains during design. In this way, the disclosed EDA techniques can limit or prevent overstress conditions applied to blocks and help to improve reliability of integrated circuits, when manufactured.

摘要： A current mode trimming apparatus for trimming a desired current is provided. The trimming apparatus includes a first transistor, a first resistor, an operational amplifier, a first controlled current source, and a second controlled current source. The first and second controlled current sources adjust the output current thereof respectively in accordance with the trimming data. The desired current passing through the first transistor is trimmed in a manner of increasing or decreasing current. Therefore, the invention can linearly increase or decrease the desired current by controlling the controlled current sources with the trimming data to achieve the goal of trimming.

摘要： Power supply regulators, integrated circuits including a power supply regulator, and methods of regulating a power supply are provided. In one embodiment, a power supply regulator includes a first self-bias circuit configured to receive a supply voltage from a power supply, a second self-bias circuit coupled to a reference voltage, and a clamping circuit coupled between the first and second self-bias circuits. The clamping circuit includes a NMOS transistor coupled to the first self-bias circuit and a PMOS transistor coupled to the second self-bias circuit. The clamping circuit is further configured to generate an output voltage less than the supply voltage at substantially the same time as when the supply voltage is received from the power supply.
