Current Bias Circuit

Abstract

The invention discloses a current bias circuit comprising a first current mirror, a second current mirror and a bias path. The first current mirror comprises a first PMOS pipe and a second PMOS pipe working as a mirror image to each other; the second current mirror comprises a first NMOS pipe and a second NMOS pipe working as a mirror image to each other; drain currents of the first PMOS pipe are connected with drain currents of the third PMOS pipe and the first PMOS pipe to form a first current path; drain currents of the second PMOS pipe are connected with drain currents of a third NMOS pipe and the second NMOS pipe to form a second current path; the first PMOS pipe and the third PMOS pipe form a first co-source co-grid structure; the second NMOS pipe and the third NMOS pipe form a second co-source co-grid structure; a bias path provides grids from the first bias voltage to the third PMOS pipe; and a current output end of the bias path is grounded via a first resistor. By the use of the current bias circuit, resistance area can be reduced and cost can be lowered.
