A system and method for compensating for offset voltage drift using a static trim based on measurements at two temperatures are disclosed. The method may include reading a first temperature and a second temperature from a temperature sensor, measuring a first untrimmed offset voltage at the first temperature, and measuring a second untrimmed offset voltage at the second temperature. The method may include calculating an offset voltage drift based on a difference between the first and second untrimmed offset voltages and a difference between the first and second temperatures, calculating an offset voltage drift trim using the offset voltage drift, and storing the offset voltage drift trim for application by a first digital-to-analog converter. The method may include calculating an offset voltage trim at the second temperature, using the offset voltage drift trim at the second temperature, and storing the offset voltage trim for application by a second digital-to-analog converter.
