Process compensated delay
View Patent ↗A Process Compensated Delay has been disclosed. In one implementation delay is primarily based on electron mobility.
1. An apparatus comprising a positive temperature coefficient bandgap reference coupled to a positive input of an operational amplifier, an output of said operational amplifier coupled to a first transistor gate, a source of said first transistor directly coupled to a negative input of said operational amplifier and a drain of a second transistor, a drain of said first transistor coupled to a current mirror, a thick oxide nMOS varactor coupled to said current mirror.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said second transistor operates in a triode region.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said second transistor has a negative temperature coefficient.
