  • Abstract
    The use of the charge pumping in MOSFETs as a low-level DC current source is proposed. Such a current source has some superior characteristics: namely, its output current is proportional to the frequency of input pulses; the output is insensitive to the drift of the pulse voltage (i.e. the drift of the pulse base/top levels); and it has an extremely high input resistance
