Abstract

A bias calibration circuit includes a first current source that can provide a majority biasing current, sufficient to provide most but not all of a desired bias voltage across a sensor. A second current source can provide a remaining amount of biasing current (minority biasing current) to provide a bias voltage across the sensor. In some embodiments, the current sources are programmable and codes are determined for programming the first and second current sources. The codes can be stored in a memory.
