Abstract

The present disclosure relates to compensating for temperature variation of a mixer. Embodiments herein may include the mixer, a calibration circuit coupled to the mixer, a replica mixer circuit coupled to the calibration circuit, and a temperature compensation circuit coupled to the calibration circuit. The replica mixer circuit may generate or be used to generate a reference voltage that varies with a common mode voltage and/or a threshold voltage of a replica mixer. The reference voltage may be applied to a resistor ladder of the calibration circuit to adjust a bias voltage and compensate for temperature variations. Further, the temperature compensation circuit may generate a temperature coefficient that may be applied to a current going through the calibration circuit to facilitate compensating for temperature variation.
