Abstract

A self-biased, VTH tracking current reference circuit is designed in 90nm CMOS process. A finite state machine automatically adjusts the reference current to achieve ±5% deviation across process variation. The bias circuit is used on a differential test circuit and simulation shows a maximum of 8.53% variation in bias current.
