Abstract
A device and method for temperature compensation of an electronic device are disclosed. The device includes a temperature bias controller with a temperature sensor. A bias signal based upon a signal from the temperature sensor is provided to a first gate of a multiple fin gate field effect transistor (multigate FinFET) transistor of a functional block. A second gate of the multigate FinFET transistor receives a control signal to control its operation within the functional block. In this configuration the first gate of the multigate FinFET transistor can be used for temperature compensation while the second gate is used for functional operation of the transistor. Specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be better understood with respect to the figures.
