Systems and methods mitigating temperature dependence of circuitry in electronic devices

摘要

Methods and systems for compensating for temperature variation in the performance of electronic circuits and systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems are configured to store compensation parameters determined in calibration, where the compensation parameters are used by the systems to modify performance. In some embodiments, the systems are part of an automatic test equipment (ATE) system.

1. A voltage generator, comprising:
a reference signal generator, comprising:
an input unit configured to receive a control signal, andan output unit configured to generate a reference signal, wherein the reference signal is dependent at least in part on the control signal and on a temperature, such that a change in the reference signal in response to a change in the temperature is based partly on the control signal; and a programmable register, configured to store a changeable code value and to generate the control signal based on the code value, wherein the changeable code value corresponds with a desirably non-constant temperature dependent reference signal which changes with temperature, wherein the control signal is configured to be transmitted to another circuit, and wherein a temperature dependence of an output of the other circuit is based at least in part on the control signal.
