Abstract:
A method and a device for canceling an offset voltage in an output of a comparator circuit include applying a signal to a first input of the comparator as a function of an initial tap point in a resistor ladder. While the signal is applied to the first input, a nominal voltage is applied to a second input of the comparator, and then an output of the comparator is analyzed. The signal to the first input is changed in response to the analyzing, by accessing a different tap point in the resistor ladder.
