本文概述了一种使用可配置模拟晶体管（CAT）的混合信号集成电路（IC）的操作校准技术。使用这种技术获得的鲁棒性显示出显着的改进，通过使用CAT在最适当的部分的设计比传统的方法。与传统设计技术相比，这种方法在操作校准方面具有显著的优势，而不需要过多的面积开销来实现它。这种技术同样可以很好地用于解决单个器件在集成电路中的变化或匹配电路中的特定器件对。
This paper outlines a technique for operational calibration of mixed-signal integrated circuits (IC) using a configurable analog transistor (CAT). The robustness obtained using this technique show a significant improvement over conventional approaches by using a CAT in the most appropriate sections of the design. This approach demonstrates significant benefits for operational calibration compared to traditional design techniques without requiring an excessive area overhead to achieve it. This technique can be used equally well to address variations across an integrated circuit for individual devices or to match specific pairs of devices in a circuit.
