Definitions
- the invention relates to a current source circuit, in which a first and a second MOS field effect transistor form a current mirror circuit, wherein the first MOS field effect transistor via a cascode-connected third MOS field-effect transistor a reference current can be supplied and the drain electrode of a with the second MOS field effect transistor in cascode fourth MOS field effect transistor has an output forms.
- a simple current mirror circuit consists of two transistors, in particular MOS field-effect transistors, whose source and gate electrodes are connected to each other are. Further, the gate electrode and the drain electrode of the one transistor are connected to each other connected and are acted upon by a reference current. The drain elec trode of the other MOS field effect transistor can then be the desired output current be removed. However, this is from the other MOS field effect transistor - im following also called output transistor - voltage depends, since its Parameters are voltage-dependent.
- the object of the invention is to provide a current source circuit, which in a large Output voltage range has a high output impedance.
- the extended-drain MOS field-effect transistor is an extended-drain-well-MOS field-effect transistor and that the further MOS field-effect transistor is a p-channel MOS field-effect transistor is.
- the current source circuit according to the invention has the advantage of a high output impedance over a very large output voltage range, the output voltage can exceed the operating voltage allowed for this technology. To reach These properties do not require additional mask steps for special high-voltage transistors needed. Furthermore, the current source circuit according to the invention can also be operated at an output voltage higher than the operating voltage of the rest Circuit is. In addition, the current source circuit according to the invention has a high accuracy of the current mirror ratio in the operating voltage, output voltage and temperature range.
- the current source circuit according to the invention serves as a current mirror when the reference current is supplied from the outside.
- the inventive Current source circuit is also a highly accurate power source.
- the current source circuit according to the invention has the advantage that, in contrast to other known circuits is not destroyed when the output transistor a Voltage is applied while the circuit itself, so the control amplifier and more Circuit elements are not yet supplied with an operating voltage.
- the current source circuit according to the invention has the advantage that they are in highly integrated Standard CMOS technologies can be used. By avoiding the hot-carrier effect At high output voltages also increases the life of the power source scarf tung.
- An advantageous embodiment of the current source circuit according to the invention exists in that at least one diode connected with the further MOS field-effect transistor MOS field effect transistor is connected in series.
- Another advantageous embodiment is designed such that the output of the control amplifier via a resistor to the gate electrode of the fourth MOS field-effect transistor is connected, wherein it is preferably provided that the variable gain amplifier is formed by an operational transconductance amplifier.
- the variable gain amplifier is formed by an operational transconductance amplifier.
- Extended-drain MOS field-effect transistors which also lightly doped drain n-well transistor or lightly doped drift region transistor, for example, are described in: Y.Q. Li, C.A.T. Salama, M. Seufert, M. King “Submicron BiCMOS compatible highvoltage MOS transistor ", ISPSD Proc., 1994, pp. 355-359.
- the transistors are formed as n-channel MOS field-effect transistors.
- a first MOS field effect transistor 1 and a second MOS field effect transistor 2 provide the actual current mirror, the supplied via an input 5, a reference current Iin can be.
- a current mirror circuit is known per se and needs in connection to be explained in detail with the present invention. It is, however briefly mentioned that the output 6 removable current Iout in a by Transistor geometries certain ratio to the reference current Iin stands. To the effect is different high voltages at the input 5 and at the output 6 to reduce a third transistor 3 having a bias voltage applied at 14 and a fourth transistor the first and second transistors in each case in cascode, wherein the MOS field effect transistor 4 in the following also called output transistor.
- an OTA (Operational transconductance amplifier) 7 the two source voltages the cascode transistors 3, 4 compared with each other, whereby a control signal arises, which is supplied via a resistor 8 of the gate electrode of the output transistor 4 becomes.
- a MOS field effect transistor 9 is connected as a capacitance between the output of the OTA 7 and ground potential.
- Embodiment protects the series connection of a p-channel MOS field effect transistor 10 and the two connected as diodes n- or p-channel MOS field effect transistors 11 and 12, the output transistor 4 in the event that a voltage at the output 6 is already present, while the supplied at 13 operating voltage (still) not available is.
- the transistor 10 receives 0V as the gate potential and switches over the MOS field-effect transistors 11, 12, the gate-drain voltage of the output transistor 4 on a value lower than the gate oxide breakdown voltage. This serves the resistance 8 for decoupling the OTA output. After starting the operating voltage at 13 turns off the MOS field effect transistor 10, so that the function of the cascode control is no longer affected.
