Abstract
A method of adjusting a circuit operating characteristic. The method includes generating a first signal for application to a reference termination. The method then includes generating a first voltage based on the first signal at a first point on the reference termination and generating a second voltage based on the first signal at a second point on the reference termination. The method also includes adjusting an operating characteristic based upon the first voltage and the second voltage. In an embodiment, the operating characteristic can be an impedance.
