Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to an integrated circuit having a flexible reference. In an example, the integrated circuit includes a reference generator, and the reference generator can generate a flexible reference signal in response to a control signal. The flexible reference signal can be changed freely by adjusting the control signal. By providing the flexible reference, the present invention can enhance the capability of verification and characterization for an integrated circuit design and reduce the physical layout area of the integrated circuit design. The present invention also relates to a method of operating the integrated circuit with a flexible reference signal.
