Abstract
A current reference circuit, comprises a main resistor, comprising: a first force contact terminal at a first end of the main resistor and coupled to a first metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) component; a second force contact terminal at a second end of the main resistor and coupled to a second MOS component; a first sense contact terminal coupled to one bipolar junction transistor (BJT); and a second sense contact terminal opposite the first sense contact by a length of the main resistor and coupled to another bipolar junction transistor, wherein the first and second sense contact terminals exchange a current reference independently of the first and second force contact terminals.
