US Patent Issued to QUALCOMM on Feb. 18 for "Low headroom cascode bias circuit for cascode current mirrors" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 19 -- United States Patent no. 12,228,956, issued on Feb. 18, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Low headroom cascode bias circuit for cascode current mirrors" was invented by Andrew Weil (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A cascode bias circuit biases a gate of a cascode transistor in a cascode current mirror. The cascode bias circuit includes a first transistor configured to conduct a first current and includes a second transistor configured to conduct a second current. The first and second transistors couple to a third transistor configured to conduct a sum of the first current and the second current. A gate of the first transistor couples to a gate of...
