  • Publication number: 20230223903
    Abstract: Systems and circuits include an amplifier having an output; a switching circuit coupled to the output of the amplifier to provide a bias current to bias the amplifier; first current generating circuitry coupled to the switching circuit; and second current generating circuitry coupled to the output of the amplifier and to the switching circuit. In operation, the switching circuit provides the bias current, during a first time period, in response to a first signal generated by the first current generating circuitry, and provides the bias current, during a second time period, after the first time period, in response to a second signal generated by the second current generating circuitry.

  • Patent number: 11637534
    Abstract: In an example, a system includes an amplifier configured to produce a bandgap voltage reference. The system also includes a current source configured to provide a current to bias the amplifier. The system includes a switching circuit configured to receive a first current replica signal and a second current replica signal, the switching circuit further configured to cause the current source to provide the current to bias the amplifier based on either the first current replica signal or the second current replica signal.

  • Patent number: 10574235
    Abstract: A method and circuitry that enables an input/output pin (I/O) on a System on a Chip to function either as an analog or as a digital input/output without compromising the overall performance of the system, thus giving the automated test equipment full flexibility to maximize parallel testing for both analog and digital modules.

  • Patent number: 10541676
    Abstract: In a described example, an apparatus includes a driver circuit coupled to an output pad, the driver having a p-channel FET coupled between a positive peripheral voltage and the pad, and having a first gate terminal coupled to a first gate control signal, and an n-channel FET coupled between the pad and a ground terminal and having a second gate terminal coupled to a second gate control signal. A predriver circuit is coupled to receive a data signal for output to the pad and further coupled to output the first gate control signal; and the predriver circuit is coupled to output a supply voltage to the first gate control signal in a first mode, and to output a bias voltage less than the supply voltage to the first gate control signal in a second mode; and a bias circuit is coupled for outputting the bias voltage.
