A bias circuit for providing at least first and second bias signals for
biasing a cascode current source and/or a cascode current sink includes a
resistive element and first, second and third transistors, each
transistor having first and second source/drain terminals and a gate
terminal. The first source/drain terminal of the first transistor is
coupled to the gate terminal, the first bias signal being generated at
the first source/drain terminal in response to receiving a first
reference current at the first source/drain terminal. A first end of the
first resistive element is coupled to the second source/drain terminal of
the first transistor. The gate terminal of the second transistor is
coupled to the gate terminal of the first transistor, the second bias
signal being generated at the first source/drain terminal of the second
transistor in response to receiving a second reference current at the
first source/drain terminal of the second transistor. The first
source/drain terminal of the third transistor is coupled to the second
source/drain terminal of the second transistor, the second source/drain
terminal of the third transistor is coupled to a second end of the first
resistive element, and the gate terminal of the third transistor is
coupled to the first source/drain terminal of the second transistor.
