ABSTRACT:
A reference current generator outputs a reference current which is insensitive to temperature variations by utilizing two gated diodes to output currents. The currents output by the gated diodes are divided to produce the reference current which, due to the cancellation of terms, is defined by the ratio of the gate areas of the gated diodes. In addition, by utilizing two oscillators, which run at different frequencies, to drive the gated diodes, the reference current may alternately be defined by the ratio of the two frequencies.
