Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dynamically correcting overshoot and undershoot errors in an analog integrated circuit by improving the reaction time (Δt) of the analog integrated circuit. Equivalently, an error correction circuit is disclosed including an overshoot correction circuit and an undershoot correction circuit that are only activated to reduce overshoot and undershoot errors by increasing the bandwidth of the integrated circuit when either undershoot or overshoot errors are detected.
