Biasing electronic components using adjustable circuitry

Abstract

Embodiments relate to improving the biasing of active electronic components such as, for example, sense amplifiers. Embodiments include an adjustable bias signal generator that receives a reference signal as an input and generates a corresponding bias signal as an output. The adjustable bias signal generator may comprise a voltage driver and capacitor divider circuitry. In some embodiments, the capacitor divider circuitry is configurable by selecting specific capacitor dividers using a digital code. In other embodiments, the voltage driver is adjustable by applying different trim settings to tune the output of the voltage driver. The voltage driver may be temperature compensated by multiplexing different trim settings that correspond to different temperatures.
