Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing controllable compensation factors to a compensated driver circuit which may be used to perform testing of the structural integrity of the compensated driver circuit. One disclosed apparatus includes a compensated driver circuit having a number of subcomponents. At least one compensation factor, which may be provided by a compensation circuit, controls which of the subcomponents to enable. An additional circuit is coupled to provide controllable values for the at least one compensation factor.
