Abstract

A CMOS offset trimming circuit and offset generation circuit for obtaining the corrected optimum offset value for correcting the offset generated in the CMOS analog circuit. An offset trimming circuit comprises a flip-flop for loading a data to be used for obtaining an optimum offset value or a data to be trimmed according to an input clock, a fuse circuit for setting the circuit with a corrected optimum offset value obtained in a corresponding mode by receiving the data loaded on the flip-flop and the mode selection signal as an input signal, and a selection logic circuit for outputting a selected signal as a trimming output signal by selecting one from the group consisting of the data loaded on the flip-flop and the data output from the fuse circuit according to the operation mode.
