Voltage regulator for coupled-mode logic circuits

摘要

A voltage regulator controls at least one current source of at least one coupled-mode logic gate. The voltage regulator includes a first current source, of a bipolar-type, connected between ground and a first resistor that is connected to a supply voltage. The first current source is controlled by a voltage across a second resistor that is fed by a current from a second current source of a MOS-type. The current value of the second source determines the voltage of an output terminal of the regulator by duplicating this current on a third current source that is mirror-connected to the second source.
