Abstract :
A simple GaAs voltage reference has been designed which has low sensitivity to the process parameters, and also has temperature compensated characteristics. The use of this design technique in SCFL digital circuits can result in a higher yield. The design technique can be applied to any IC technology offering square-law FET devices
