Abstract
The present invention relates to device matching in an integrated circuit. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit of matched devices can include: N main-devices to be matched by 4×K sub-devices configured to form K device arrays, where each of the device arrays includes four sub-device groups arrayed symmetrically around a vertical axis and a horizontal axis, where each of the sub-device groups includes N sub-devices arrayed with equal distance along a direction of the vertical axis, where K and N are integers, and N is larger than two; metal lead wires arrayed in parallel and with equal distance, and configured to connect the main-devices; a common connecting wire configured to connect common nodes of the sub-devices together; and where four sub-devices arrayed in the four sub-device groups, and other sub-devices arrayed in other sub-device groups, are coupled to form 4×K sub-devices to match the main-devices.
