A calibration circuit for a current source cell includes a reference
current source and a transresistance amplifier forming a feedback loop
for calibrating the output current of the current source cell. The
reference current source supplies a reference current to a first node
switchably connected to the current output node of the current source
cell. The transresistance amplifier has an input terminal coupled to the
first node and an output terminal switchably connected to a calibration
node of the current source cell. With the calibration circuit coupled for
calibration, an input current develops at the first node being the
difference between the output current of the current source cell and the
reference current. The transresistance amplifier receives the input
current and generates an output voltage for driving the calibration node.
The output voltage has a value operative to nullify the difference
between the output current and the reference current.
