Abstract
In a current reference generator device, a voltage reference generator stage generates a reference voltage (V) and an active element output stage receives the reference voltage (V) and outputs a reference current (I) as a function of the reference voltage (V). A control stage is operatively coupled to the voltage reference generator stage and to the active element output stage and controls a first trimmable parameter (m) associated to the voltage reference generator stage and a second trimmable parameter associated to the active element output stage, so as to compensate for changes in a value of the reference current (I) due to manufacturing process deviations.
