Abstract
A bias circuit for generating an output bias current includes a first transistor, a passive component, a second transistor, and a bias current generator. The first transistor has a first node coupled to a first reference voltage, a second node, and a control node. The passive component is coupled between the first reference voltage and the control node of the first transistor. The second transistor has a first node coupled to the control node of the first transistor, a control node coupled to the second node of the first transistor, and a second node for providing the output bias current according to a current passing through the passive component. The bias current generator is coupled to the second node of the first transistor, and implemented for providing the first transistor with a bias current.
