A circuit and method for calibrating CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) inverters are provided. In a circuit, a first tunable CMOS inverter, controlled by a control signal, receives a first voltage from a first circuit node and outputs a second voltage to a second circuit node. A second tunable CMOS inverter, controlled by the control signal, receives the second voltage from the second circuit node and outputs the first voltage to the first circuit node. A resistor couples the first circuit node to the second circuit node. A switch, controlled by a reset signal, conditionally shorts the first circuit node to the second circuit node. A finite state machine receives the first voltage and the second voltage and outputs the reset signal and the control signal, wherein the control signal is adjusted based on a difference between the first voltage and the second voltage.
