  • Current source and method therefor
    Patent number: 6020730
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling current flow in current sources includes a current source FET (18), a control FET (20), and a driver circuit which includes complementary logic (310). The use of complementary logic for control advantageausly allows commonly available logic functions to control the current flow in individual current sources while maintaining a substantially constant bias voltage on the gate of the current source FETs. A chip-wide bias generator can be maintained substantially constant while controlling individual current sources.
