Abstract :
An MOS integrated circuit that delivers an equal DC bias voltage to several independent nodes through impedances in the range 1010 -1012 Ω is reported. One application of this circuit is that of providing bias to each stage of an iterative stage amplifier where high impedance is desired to allow small coupling capacitors between stages
