Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2721119A1] The current source includes first and second MOS transistors (N0,N1) supplied by a current mirror (1) which have their sources connected to earth (Vss), in order to make the current source insensitive to temperature. The drain (a) and the grid (b) of the second transistor (N1) are connected via a resistance (R). The transfer coefficient of the transistors (N0,N1) is equal to the coefficient (beta) of the current mirror (1), and the transistors (N0,N1) are doped so that the threshold of the second transistor (N1) is greater than that of the first transistor (N0).
