Autocalibration Approach for Improving Robustness of Analog ICs

This work presents a dedicated method of analog integrated circuit (IC) autocalibration, which was used to calibrate a voltage reference with the output voltage value of 96 mV . The reference accuracy might be significantly influenced by fluctuations in the
manufacturing process. The essence of this technique is to suppress this undesired influence of process variations
in terms of the corner conditions of 130 nm CMOS technology. All analog parts of the proposed autocalibration system are presented at the transistor level. The output of the calibration subcircuit is a digital signal controlling the autocalibration.
