A method for calibrating a parameter of an IC, using an external device so as to calibrate an analog control parameter of an internal analog circuit in the IC. The external device is used in a detecting mode so as to detect whether the analog control parameter is beyond a pre-determined range. If the analog control parameter is beyond the pre-determined range, the external device is used in a calibrating mode so as to obtain a calibrated value and the calibrated value is then written into the internal analog circuit in the IC. The external device is used for detection and calibration repeatedly until the analog control parameter is within the pre-determined range. When the analog control parameter is within the pre-determined range, the calibrated value is written into a non-volatile memory in the IC.
