Circuit for calibration measurements, method, computer program, and electronic device

Abstract

A circuit for calibration measurements comprises a first and a second current source arranged to provide current outputs; a resistor connected between the first current source and a reference voltage; a capacitor connected between the second current source and the reference voltage; a discharge switch connected in parallel with the capacitor and arranged to selectively discharge the capacitor; a comparator circuit arranged to compare voltages across the resistor and the capacitor and output a signal when voltage across the capacitor reaches the voltage across the resistor; and a controller having a clock signal input and connected to the output of the comparator circuit. The controller is arranged to control the discharge switch to discharge the capacitor, change state of the switch to enable charging of the capacitor and count clock signal pulses until the comparator provides the signal when voltage across the capacitor reaches the voltage across the resistor, wherein the controller is arranged to determine a calibration measurement from counted number of clock signal pulses. A method, computer program and electronic device are also disclosed.
