Unit 9. MOSFET Current Sources<br />

With the evolution of integrated circuits, it was necessary to reduce the number of resistors in<br />

the circuit, and the solution was the transistor current source. An added bonus was that the<br />

circuit was generally greatly improved as well. Here, the basic principle is introduced, followed<br />

by a discussion of the standard method of increasing the current output resistance with source<br />

degeneration. The application of a current-source configuration for balancing a differential<br />

amplifier stage is discussed.
