Abstract :
For pt.I see ibid., vol.41, no.11, p.740-43, 1994. New current and voltage references are proposed which utilize depletion-mode field effect transistors and resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) in a negative, inverting current mirror. High-fidelity SPICE simulation of a double-cascode reference implementation suggests that supply rejection is of the same order as that of the best existing all-MESFET references
