Abstract

See full text

A calibration system and method are disclosed that include a first bias current generator configured for generating a first bias current that is proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) and a second bias current generator configured for generating a second bias current that is complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT). The first and second bias currents are copied, multiplied and then summed into a total output bias current, which can be used to bias an electronic circuit. A temperature coefficient is calibrated by changing a ratio of the first and second bias current contributions to the total output bias current, while maintaining the same total output bias current level for a given temperature.
