Abstract

See full text

A transistor threshold extraction circuit including at least two transistors of the same type each having a control terminal and having essentially a same threshold voltage, each of the two transistors also having first and second main conduction terminals, a current mirror circuit having at least two input-output terminals with the two terminals coupled respectively to the two transistors so as to supply bias currents, a voltage generator connected between the two control terminals, and a feedback path between the control terminals and one of the input-output terminals. An output of the extraction circuit is coupled to one of the control terminals.
