Abstract

A circuit for equalizing the impedances of a PMOS device with an NMOS device includes a first reference voltage coupled to the source of the first PMOS device. A second reference voltage is coupled to the source of the NMOS device. A first node has a common mode voltage between the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage. A second node is located between the PMOS device and the NMOS device. A first gate voltage is coupled to the gate of either the PMOS device or the NMOS device. An operational amplifier has a first input coupled to the first node and a second input coupled to the second node, the output of the operational amplifier is a second gate voltage that is coupled to the gate of one of either the PMOS device or the NMOS device that is not coupled to the first gate voltage.
