Abstract

An apparatus is provided that includes a first pull-up driver circuit coupled to a first calibration node, an internal resistor circuit and first input/output pad on an integrated circuit die, a second pull-up driver circuit coupled to a second calibration node and second input/output pad on the integrated circuit die, a third pull-up driver circuit coupled to a third calibration node, a comparator including a first input terminal selectively coupled to the first calibration node, the second calibration node and the third calibration node, and a second input terminal coupled to a reference voltage, and circuitry configured to trim the reference voltage to compensate for a comparator offset, and trim an impedance of the internal resistor circuit by comparing a voltage on the first calibration node and the trimmed reference voltage. The trimmed impedance of the internal resistor circuit substantially equals a desired impedance of the third pull-up driver circuit.
