Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A model for estimating the dispersion in the output of a MOS-only, constant inversion level, current reference is presented. Based on such model, a design method is introduced that allows to optimize how area is spent in order to minimize the dispersion for a given layout complexity. The model was successfully compared with the measurements of a current source fabricated on a 130-nm CMOS technology and with the simulations of six other designs. The fabricated, ultralow power, current source has an area of 0.032 mm(2) and produces 11.4 nA on average, while all eight measured devices were inside +/- 2.1% of the average.
