Abstract:
A bias circuit comprises: a first circuit that comprises a first resistor and a decoupling capacitor; a bias voltage generation circuit that comprises a first transistor being connected to the first circuit; one or more switches; a first replica circuit comprising a second circuit and a second transistor, the second circuit comprising a second resistor and a capacitor, the second transistor being connected to the second circuit; a second replica circuit comprising a third transistor; a comparator that makes a comparison between a pseudo-bias voltage and a reference voltage; and a control circuit that controls the one or more switches on the basis of the comparison result to reduce the amount of the current flowing through the first transistor.
