Abstract

A method and system of compensating for component mismatch are disclosed. An example system comprises an amplifier including a current ratio measurement engine (CRME) and a modulator (DSM). The CRME is configured to obtain measurements for each possible configuration of an amplifier circuit and to pass these measurements to a processor for analysis. In the example system, the measurements are obtained by driving a bias current through two or more circuit elements and measuring the ratio in current between the two or more circuit elements, which is representative of the relative mismatch between the two or more components. The DSM is configured to receive adjustment parameters from the processor and to tune the amplifier circuit according to the adjustment parameters to thereby improve the performance of the amplifier.
