Abstract:
A circuit includes a comparator, a resistor divider, a control circuit, a multiplexer, and a programmable gain amplifier. The comparator is operable to measure an internal voltage of the circuit based on a selected reference voltage. The resistor divider is operable to generate reference voltages. The control circuit is operable to generate a select signal based on an output signal of the comparator. The multiplexer is operable to select one of the reference voltages from the resistor divider as the selected reference voltage based on the select signal. The programmable gain amplifier is configurable to generate a compensation voltage to compensate for an offset voltage of the comparator. The compensation voltage is provided to an input of the comparator.
