Abstract
A device may include a voltage-to-current converter circuit having an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), the voltage-to-current converter circuit for generating a bias current that is proportional to a reference voltage at a reference voltage input port of the OTA, and a bias current feedback path for providing the bias current to a bias current input port of the OTA. The device may further include a startup current generator circuit coupled to the bias current input port of the OTA, the startup current generator circuit controllable to provide a startup current to the bias current input port during a startup of the device and to be deactivated after the startup of the device.
