  • Match-insensitive low-current bias circuit
    Patent number: 6201377
    Abstract: A match-insensitive low current bias circuit uses a transistor arrangement which takes advantage of the transistors' collector current degeneration, current gain through emitter sizing, and voltage gain to minimize any errors caused by stage mismatches created during production. The bias circuit of the present invention is particularly suited to integrated circuit applications where a low biasing current is required.
