Abstract
A novel fully integrated adjustable DC current reference is developed. The reference current is set by the ratio of a DC voltage generated using a band-gap reference and a tuned resistor based on an inductor reference. An AC signal is necessary to develop a relationship between the resistor tuned and the inductor reference. A computation unit which could be designed as an analog circuit is necessary to compute the value of the resistor in relationship to the reference inductor. Classic circuits are used to develop and analyze the relationship between the reference inductor and the tunable resistor that sets the DC current reference. Results show that the value of the inductance is insensitive to process, voltage and temperature variations. Therefore, assuming the DC bandgap reference voltage is insensitive to changes in process, voltage and temperature variations, so is the DC current reference.
