Abstract

See full text

In a line driver that utilizes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to generate a current that is used to form an output voltage V.sub.OD, variations in the output voltage V.sub.OD are minimized by a calibration circuit that senses the output voltage V.sub.OD, compares the output voltage V.sub.OD to a reference voltage, and then increments or decrements the bias current fed into the DAC to match the output voltage V.sub.OD to the reference voltage.
