good day everybody..
i'm doing simulation right now about high swing cascode current source.
this is about the self bias high swing cascode current source.
please refer below for the figure.
(i found this circuit in CMOS Analaog Design by Allen, 2nd edition page 133.)
In this configuration, he eliminates an Iref, from the two Iref originally present in the high swing configuration.
My question is, what is the purpose of the resistor being placed in the drain of M4?

Thank you.
