Abstract:
In a method and apparatus for trimming values of load resistors to reduce variations there between, a common mode feedback loop (CMFBL) included in a differential amplifier is switched from operating in a closed loop mode to operate in an open loop mode. The CMFBL includes an operational amplifier (OA) generating an output signal. A selector switch, coupled to receive the output signal, is operable to switch a path of the output signal in response to a CAL signal. In the closed loop mode, the selector switch routes the output signal to a feedback loop to provide a regulated current to the load resistors. In the open loop mode, the OA operates as a comparator and the output signal is provided as a digital signal. The selector switch provides the digital signal to a controller to digitally trim the values of the load resistors.
