Hi all,
I am trying to design a biasing network for a gain boosted folded cascode (1.8V), able to work in all corner at room T, and able to work in a decent way also at -40 and 200 C. I assume constant reference current (external source).
At this point, i used simple diode-connected MOS with a fixed current flowing through them to build all the voltages. In one case, i have used MOS and resistors.
This is not so robust, and in some extreme corners (e.g. slow, -40) some devices enters triode region. The amplifier still works, but I would like to improve it.
What is the correct approach to build a robust biasing network?
Maybe not use a fixed current but derive a variable current in order to compensate for process deviation?
Please help
