Abstract

An example dynamic element matching (DEM) circuit includes: a plurality of bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) (202), each of the plurality of BJTs having a base terminal and a collector terminal coupled to electrical ground; a plurality of power switch pairs (204), each power switch pair coupled to an emitter of a respective one of the plurality of BJTs; a plurality of sensing switch pairs (206), each sensing switch pair being respectively coupled to a plurality of BJTs The emitter of each of the BJTs, the first switch of each sense switch pair is coupled to the first node (Vbel), and the second switch of each sense switch pair is coupled to the second node (Vbe2); a first current source (208) coupled to the first switch in each power switch pair; and a second current source (210) coupled to the second switch in each power switch pair .

Description

technical field [0001] Examples of the present disclosure relate generally to electronic circuits and, more particularly, to dynamic component matching in integrated circuits (ICs). Background technique [0002] Temperature sensing circuitry is an important function associated with integrated circuits (ICs), such as large systems-on-chip (SoCs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and similar devices. A temperature sensing circuit is implemented by driving a first diode-connected BJT with a unit current and driving a second diode-connected BJT with a multiple of the unit current. The second diode-connected BJT mates with the first diode-connected BJT. That is, a 1:1 BJT array is driven with a 1:N current bias, where N is a positive integer greater than 1. Such temperature sensing circuitry consumes significant area due at least in part to the matching requirements of the 1:N current bias sources. Mismatches between diode-connected BJTs can cause inaccurate temperature...
