Abstract :
In MOS circuits, there is a need to generate a voltage equal to the threshold voltage VT of the MOSFETs and a current equal to KVT2 (where K is the conduction parameter of a MOSFET) for the purposes of supply-independent biasing and temperature compensation. A circuit which generates these quantities is presented.
