Integrated circuit topologies for discrete circuits

摘要

Various embodiments that pertain to electronic element matching are described. Having electronic elements, such as transistors, matching can be relatively easy in an integrated circuit environment. Transitioning to a discrete circuit environment, finding electronics elements that match one another can be more challenging. If the electronic elements themselves do not match, then their outputs will not match. To compensate for these mismatches, when one wants the outputs to be matched, an output of one of the electronic elements can be modified so that the outputs are matched. Therefore, a discrete circuit can be produced that functions similarly to that of an integrated circuit.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a determination component configured to make a determination that an output of a first discrete electronic element does not match an output of a second discrete electronic element, wherein the first discrete electronic element and the second discrete electronic element are two different parts of a circuit and do not share a same substrate; and a compensation component configured to perform a compensation upon the circuit such that the output of the first discrete electronic element and the output of the second discrete electronic element match, wherein the determination component, the compensation component, or a combination thereof is implemented, at least in part, by way of non-software.
