ABSTRACT:
A bias control circuit generates a bias control current that is proportional to temperature. The bias control current is drawn from a first node of a bias circuit. The first node of the bias circuit is also configured to receive a relatively large first current that is also proportional to temperature. A bias current is also drawn from the first node, wherein the bias current is equal to the difference between the relatively large first current and the bias control current. The temperature sensitivities of the bias control current and the relatively large first current are matched, such that the bias control current is relatively insensitive to changes in temperature.
