Abstract

A bias generation scheme for CMOS cascode current mirrors is proposed. The bias voltage generated is equal to the sum of the overdrive voltage of the mirroring transistor and the gate source voltage of the cascode transistor. The proposed scheme is designed in a n-well CMOS process with  supply and simulation results are provided for different process corners. The proposed idea is also found in the patent [1].

Keywords: Amplifier, cascode bias voltage, cascode transistor, current mirror, mirroring transistor.
