<p>A system for controlling the impedances of circuits on an integrated circuit chip is provided. At least one circuit is selected to operate as a p-channel reference circuit, and at least one circuit is selected to operate as an n-channel reference circuit. Other circuits are selected to operate as circuits and/or line termination circuits. A digitally controlled impedance (DCI) circuit controls the p-channel reference circuit to determine a desired configuration of p-channel transistors for use in the circuits. The DCI circuit further controls the n-channel reference circuit to determine a desired configuration of n-channel transistors for use in the circuits. The DCI circuit takes into account such factors as resistances of p-channel transistors in the p-channel reference circuit, resistances of n-channel transistors in the n-channel reference circuit, as well as temperature, voltage and process variations. The DCI cirucit relays information identifying the desired configurations of the n-channel and p-channel transistors to the circuits. The circuits are then configured in response to this information.</p> |
