  • METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR SELF-TRIMMING OF A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
    Publication number: 20200176070
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for self-trimming of a semiconductor device. An example self-trimming circuit includes a control circuit configured to, during a self-trimming operation, decode a test command signal to set a target voltage and set a voltage trim code to an initial value, and to adjust a value of the voltage trim code based on a stop signal. The example self-trimming circuit further includes a reference voltage regulator configured to receive the voltage trim code and to convert a band-gap reference voltage to an output voltage based on the voltage trim code, and a comparator configured to compare the target voltage with the output voltage and to provide the stop signal having a value based on the comparison.

  • Methods and apparatuses for self-trimming of a semiconductor device
    Patent number: 10600494
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for self-trimming of a semiconductor device. An example apparatus includes a semiconductor device including a self-trimming circuit configured to receive a reference voltage and a test command signal. The self-trimming circuit is configured to convert the reference voltage to a target voltage based on the test command signal and further configured to adjust a voltage trim code until an internal voltage matches the target voltage to determine a trim level associated with the internal voltage.
