Bias Current Modifications to FPUA. The analog part of the FPU (T/H, Comparator, Mux) is the one part of the FPPA that can not be observed directly outside of the chip - its behavior must be inferred
E N D
Bias Current Modifications to FPUA • The analog part of the FPU (T/H, Comparator, Mux) is the one part of the FPPA that can not be observed directly outside of the chip - its behavior must be inferred • In order to improve switching speed, and allow more settling time, speed improvements were made. • Bias currents increased in T/H and Mux. Unchanged in Comparator (optimized for original bias current)
