Abstract :
This paper presents an experimental characterization of floating-gate devices to be used as variable threshold transistors exploitable for trimming analog circuits. The presented data show that good accuracy can be achieved in circuit trimming, but also that the analog characteristics of floating-gate devices are inherently worse than those of standard transistors fabricated with the same technology.
