发明名称 Method and Apparatus for Improvement of Matching FET Currents Using a Digital to Analog Converter
摘要 A method and apparatus to equalize currents on a matching pair of FETs having sources connected together on a silicon on insulator semiconductor chip, or other chip wherein FET bodies can be individually biased. During a determination period, functional inputs coupled to the gates of the matching pair of FETs are short circuited, and a DAC adjusts a first body voltage of a first FET in the matching pair of FETs relative to a second body voltage of a second FET in the matching pair of FETs until a currents in the first FET and the second FET are equal, within resolution of the DAC's voltage granularity. A proper DAC control value is stored and applied to the DAC following the determination period when the short circuit is removed from the functional inputs.
