CMOS Analog Design Using All-Region MOSFET

1
Simple MOS current source
IREF is, in general, very
sensitive to VDD, R,
and M
Low current requires
high R (large silicon
area)
(a) A simple MOS current source (b) Current x voltage
characteristic of the input transistor and load line.

Widlar current source
Low current can be generated
without large resistances
N is also a design parameter (more
important than RS)
Input current IREF often high – not
convenient for low-power design
