Reference Circuit

In this paper, an all CMOS current reference circuit which generates a reference current independent of PVT (Process, supply Voltage, and Temperature) variations is presented. The circuit consists of a self-biased current source (SBCS) and two nested connected transistors which supply a voltage with positive temperature coefficient and the resulting reference circuit has low temperature coefficient. It is based on CSMC 0.5um mixed-signal process with the supply voltage of 5V. The precision of reference current is about ±3.05% when considering the process, supply voltage and temperature variation at the same time.

Reference Circuit

a low voltage CMOS Nano power current reference circuit has been presented in this paper and also the circuit simulation performance in 180-nm UMC CMOS technology. Most of the MOSFETs operate in sub-threshold region consisting of bias-voltage, start-up and current-source sub-circuits. A stable reference current of 4-nA lying in supply voltage range of 1 V-1.8 V has been generated with line sensitivity of 0.203% /V. Within the temperature range of 0°C to 100 °C, and the voltage level of 1.8 V, the temperature coefficient was 7592ppm/°C. At the same voltage supply, the power dissipation was found out to be 380 NW. It is suitable to use this circuit in sub threshold power aware large scale integration.

This paper proposes a low voltage CMOS Nano power current reference circuit and presents its performance with circuit simulation in 180- nm UMC CMOS technology. The proposed circuit consists of start-up, Bias-voltage, current-source sub-circuits with most of the MOSFETs operating in sub-threshold region. Simulation results shows that the circuit generates a stable reference current of 4-nA in supply voltage range 1 V- 1.8 V with line sensitivity of 0.203%/V.The temperature coefficient of the current was 7592ppm/°C at 1.8 V in the range of 0°C-100°C. The power dissipation was 380 NW at 1.8 V Supply. The proposed circuit would be suitable for use in sub-threshold –operated power-aware large-scale integration
