Abstract:
A method for digital programmable optimization of a mixed-signal circuit is provided. The method comprises dividing up one or more transistor devices of the mixed-signal circuit into one or more transistor segments, with each transistor segment including a body tie bias terminal. Each body tie bias terminal is coupled to at least one voltage bias, either by placing each body tie bias terminal in signal communication with one or more bias nodes in the mixed-signal circuit, or by placing each body tie bias terminal in signal communication with a non-precision bias voltage source. Each body tie terminal is also arranged to be in signal communication with a separate one of one or more digital programmable storage elements.
