ABSTRACT:
Bias current generation circuits and systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a bias current generation system comprises a current generation circuit generating a first current based on a first voltage and an external resistor, a current mirror forwarding a second current proportional to the first current, and one or more bias current generation circuits with each circuit generating a bias current based on a second voltage over a resistance of a transistor device, where the transistor device is maintained in a triode region using a third voltage associated with the second current and where the resistance of the transistor device shares characteristics of a resistance of the external resistor.
