ABSTRACT:
A bias generator is provided that includes a central bias generator to provide a first bias voltage and a local bias generator to receive the first bias voltage and to provide a second bias voltage. The central bias generator may include a replica bias generator circuit substantially corresponding to the local bias generator.
