    摘要: In an example embodiment, a circuit is provided that includes a current source with a calibrated trim circuit whose output current varies with transconductance of the current source, and tracks a current mismatch between the current source and another current source under varying bias currents and temperatures. The trim circuit may include at least one calibration digital to analog converter (CAL DAC), which may be driven by a bias circuit generating current proportional to the transconductance of the current source. In an example embodiment, the trim circuit may include at least two CAL DACs, whose output current may vary with bias current only, and with bias current and temperature. A method to calibrate the CAL DACs includes varying calibration settings of the CAL DACs under different bias currents until the output current of the trim circuit substantially accurately tracks the current mismatch under disparate bias currents and temperatures.

    摘要: In some converter architectures, unary digital-to-analog (DAC) converter elements generate an analog output which represents the digital input signal. Thermometer codes trigger an appropriate number of DAC elements to generate the analog output. The DAC elements are not all perfectly weighted, and mismatch shaping is often used to dynamically equalize the usage of each DAC element during data conversion to average out the mismatches. Unfortunately, mismatch shaping adds additional switching and can worsen the effect of switching errors. Switching errors which are non-linearly dependent on the input causes a second order distortion if the sum of the switching errors corresponding to a set of DAC elements is not zero. Prior to data conversion, calibration can select a subset of DAC elements having a lesser sum of switching errors for data conversion. Other (redundant) DAC elements are not used at all or shut off permanently.
