Abstract:
A method is provided for process, voltage, temperature (PVT) stable transfer function calibration in a differential amplifier. The gain resistors of a differential amplifier are initially selected to achieve a flat amplitude transfer function in the first frequency band. After calibration, the degeneration capacitor is connected and tuned until a peaked amplitude transfer function is measured, which is resistant to variations in PVT. As an alternative, the degeneration capacitor is not disconnected during initial calibration. Then, the gain resistors and the degeneration capacitor values are selectively adjusted until the first peaked amplitude transfer function is obtained. The peaked amplitude transfer function remains even more stable to variations in PVT than the flat amplitude calibration method.
