17nA Current Bias with Enable - Low Voltage (1.0V), Ultra Low Power (90nW @ 1.8V) TowerJazz 0.18 um

Overview

This macro-cell is a low power general purpose current bias generator core designed for TowerJazz 0.18µm TS18SL CMOS technology.
The circuit generates 2 × NMOS 17nA current branches. The current bias is temperature compensated. Output currents come from NMOS drain terminals, thus being sink-type sources.

Key Features

  • Low power current bias
  • Low TC
  • Ibias=17nA ±12% (without trimming)
  • Current consumption lower than 61nA in active mode
  • Flexible voltage operation: 1.0V–2.0V
  • Enable control
  • Indicative area: 0.0037mm2
