Abstract
An amplifier includes an input stage, a comparator coupled to an output of the differential input stage, and a trimming controller coupled to an output of the comparator. The input stage includes a plurality of trim devices coupled in parallel with a first input device. The trimming controller is adapted to configure the trim devices based on an output of the comparator. The trim devices may selectively control a total effective device area of the first input device. Each of the trim devices, when enabled, may add a specified area to the total effective device area of the first input device. The input stage may also include a second plurality of trim devices coupled in parallel with a second input device.
