Abstract

The invention relates to a current generating circuit which comprises a first current generating unit and a second current generating unit, wherein the first current generating unit comprise an MOS transistor working in a subthreshold area, and is used for generating a current in direct proportion with temperature; the second current generating unit comprises an MOS transistor working in a saturation area, and is used for generating a current irrelevant to the temperature; the difference between the current generated by the second current generating unit and the current generated by the first current generating unit is the third current generated by the current generating circuit. The current generating circuit can meet requirements for semiconductor process miniaturization and system simplification.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to semiconductor integrated circuits, and more particularly to current generating circuits. Background technique [0002] As semiconductor technology develops from micron (μm) to nanometer (nm) processes, changes in process conditions have an increasing impact on devices. For example, in a 90nm process, under certain bias conditions, the threshold voltage (threshold voltage) of a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor will drop sharply by about 70% from a low temperature of -40°C to a high temperature of 125°C. In this case, the current increases significantly at high temperature with a significant decrease in the threshold voltage. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a negative temperature coefficient or a current bias that is inversely proportional to temperature to reduce or eliminate the large current generated at high temperature. [0003] according to figure 1 According to Kirchoff's current law, the sum of ...
