Abstract

A calibration circuit includes an amplifier, a current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a comparator, a slew calibration network, and an on-die termination (ODT) network. The amplifier generally has a first input, a second input, and an output. The first input generally receives a reference signal. The current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) generally has a first input coupled to the output of the amplifier, a first output coupled to the second input of the amplifier, and a second output coupled to a circuit node. The comparator generally has a first input receiving the reference signal, a second input coupled to the circuit node, and an output at which an output of the calibration circuit may be presented. The slew calibration network is generally coupled to the circuit node and configured to adjust a slew rate of the calibration circuit. The on-die termination (ODT) network is generally coupled to the circuit node.
