Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for self-trimming of a semiconductor device. An example apparatus includes a semiconductor device including a self-trimming circuit configured to receive a reference voltage and a test command signal. The self-trimming circuit is configured to convert the reference voltage to a target voltage based on the test command signal and further configured to adjust a voltage trim code until an internal voltage matches the target voltage to determine a trim level associated with the internal voltage.
