Voltage & Current References
An Ideal reference should be independent of power supply, processand temperature variations.
The term Reference is used when the current or voltage values have
more precision and stability than ordinarily found in a source.
A high performance voltage reference can be used to implement a
high performance current reference and vice versa.
Voltage and current references used to bias the current sources and
sinks, differential amplifiers, operational amplifiers etc..

To reduce powerdissipation, the resistors
must be made very large,
which requires large area
on die.
Not practicable.

Current Source Self Biasing
Main drawback of References based on voltage divider are
very sensitive to supply voltage, process and temperature.
Three important types of current source self biasing are :
1. Threshold voltage referenced self biasing
2. Diode referenced self biasing
3. Thermal voltage referenced self biasing

1. Threshold voltage referenced self biasing

Ideally the Reference current is independent of power supply.

This circuit requires a start up circuit, for flawless functionality. Why ?

Requirement ofStart-Up circuit

Threshold Referenced Self biasing with
start-up circuit
When I1 = I2 = 0 then
VGS1 = I2R = 0 and VDS1=VGS2 = 0.
Now M5 transistor provides current
to flow through drain of M1. so I1 increases
and so I2.
VG2 increases
VGS5 decreases
When I1 reaches point A,
M5 turns off as VGS5 < Vt5.
The start up circuit will be idle until I1 (=I2)
Becomes again zero.

CMOS circuits rely on using well transistors, which are vertical bipolar
transistors, that use wells as their bases and the substrates as their
collectors.
In an n-well process, the vertical bipolar transistors are PNP type with
their collectors connected to ground.
In a p-well process, the vertical bipolar transistors are NPN transistors,
with their collectors connected to the positive power supply

The parasitic transistor is connected as a
diode ( base and collector are tied
together), which reduces the effectiveresistance in series with the diode and the
leakage to substrate.
The cascode mirrors made with M1
through M8 force the same current, I, toflow through D1 and R.
Assuming matched devices, VGS1 = VGS2

Advantage : compared to threshold referenced self biasing circuit, this has
better matching, from wafer to wafer and on the same die, of the diodevoltage(VBE) over threshold voltage.
This circuit also depends on temperature.

3. Thermal Voltage Referenced Self Biasing
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]7/27/2019 Unit 1 - Voltage and Current References1.pdf

Disadvantage :
1. Since the voltage drop across resistor R is very small, Mismatches
in the gate source voltages of M1 and M2 are made large variations
in reference current I.
2. Susceptibility to externally coupled noise across R.
