ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are described that develop a reference voltage that is based on a difference between a threshold voltage of a first transistor and a threshold voltage of a second transistor, and further based on a difference between a gate overdrive voltage of the first transistor and a gate overdrive voltage of the second transistor.
