ABSTRACT:
A combined analog and digital calibration circuit and method for adjusting an output offset voltage of a differential amplifier circuit are provided. The circuit comprises a digitally controlled voltage divider positioned between at least one isolated well and a controllable voltage source, a controllable voltage source controlled by an initial constant current and a variable current, and a controller to modify the variable current to continuously adjust the back gate control voltage. The method comprises adjusting a control voltage of at least one of a pair of input transistors using a back gate control voltage, providing an analog current to establish a back gate control voltage, and altering the analog current when the back gate control voltage causes an output offset voltage to differ from a reference voltage by more than a predetermined quantity.
