  • THRESHOLD VOLTAGE EXTRACTION CIRCUIT
    Publication number: 20110031945
    Abstract: A pair of MOS transistors (10,12) are arranged as a potential divider. As the MOS transistors (10,12) pass from a weak inversion regime to a strong inversion regime, the voltage at the midpoint of the threshold divider changes from being substantially constant to varying. A difference amplifier (14) is used to detect this voltage, and a feedback loop (16) through a further transistor (18) is also provided.
