A new system including circuit and methods are given to realize a dynamic
matching of current sources, which are arranged as arrays of sets of
current sources with added piecewise switchable trim bit transistors. The
matching is achieved during an programmed calibration and trimming step
by switching ON/OFF certain trim bit transistors until a required
accuracy compared to a master reference is reached. The accuracy of the
current source trimming is purely a function of the LSB size, and the
trim range a function of the number of trim bits. Applying these new
principles the drawbacks with regard to chip space and cost of prior art
solutions can be overcome. Making use of modern chip manufacturing
technologies allows for a very flexible and adaptive production of large
arrays of current sources, as e.g. used in driver ICs for OLED displays.
