Abstract
A system and method for calibrating an integrated circuit. The method includes configuring a first impedance for a first output of the integrated circuit according to a first configuration code and measuring a first voltage at the first output which corresponds to the first configuration code. The method further includes configuring a second impedance for a second output of the integrated circuit according to a second configuration code and measuring a second voltage at the second output which corresponds to the second configuration code. A determination of which of the first voltage and the second voltage is nearest to a predetermined voltage value. Based on the voltage determination, the integrated circuit is configured according a code of said first and second codes that corresponds to the voltage nearest to the predetermined voltage.
