    Abstract: A bias current circuit is provided with a bias circuit that generates a bias voltage to control the resistance of an active resistor transistor. The bias circuit is configured to generate the bias voltage to be greater than one-half of a power supply voltage for the current bias circuit and to have a negative temperature dependency to reduce the temperature sensitivity of the bias current circuit.

    Abstract: A temperature-compensated low-pass filter includes a differential amplifier that controls a first transistor to pass a subthreshold current through the transistor to charge a capacitor with low-pass-filtered output voltage. A second transistor has a first terminal coupled to an input terminal of the low-pass filter and has a second terminal coupled to a current source conducting a bias current. The differential amplifier also controls the second transistor to conduct the bias current responsive to a difference between a complementary-to-absolute-temperature reference voltage and a voltage of the second terminal of the second transistor.
