Abstract :
The authors describe low voltage current and voltage references which only use MOSFETs in strong inversion and pnp substrate transistors; both the references exhibit very good performance in terms of power supply rejection and do not require compensation capacitances; the minimum supply voltage is about 0.8V for the current reference and 1.2V for the voltage reference.
