Abstract :
The design of a monolithic MOS parametric analog function synthesizer is described. The contour and voltage scaling of the nonlinear function to be synthesized are determined by a set of input bias voltage parameters, and are independent of temperature and processing variations. Experimental results showing synthesis precision on the order of 2% over temperature are presented. The particular application of generating a voltage that is a nonlinear function of chip temperature for compensation purposes is addressed.
