  • Patent number: 11705164
    Abstract: A supply voltage sensitivity of an output current of a bias current generator circuit is reduced. The bias current generator includes a plurality of transistors and a plurality of resistors coupled to the plurality of transistors. The supply voltage sensitivity of the output current of the bias current generator circuit is reduced by applying a second bias current generated by the bias current generator circuit to a first bias current generated by the bias current generator circuit.

  • Patent number: 11664791
    Abstract: A method includes performing a duty-cycle correction. The method can include inputting a signal to a duty-cycle correction circuit. The method can further include transferring the signal through an alternating current-coupling (AC-coupling) component of the duty-cycle correction circuit. The method can further include transferring the signal through a feedback circuit, wherein the feedback circuit comprises a plurality of resistors. The method can further include outputting a signal that includes a corrected duty-cycle with a particular amount of duty-cycle distortion.
