In this paper, a threshold voltage (V-T) cancellation circuit for neur
on-MOS (nu MOS) analog circuits is described. By connecting the output
terminal of this circuit with one of the input terminals of the nu MO
S transistor, cancellation of V-T is realized. The circuit has advanta
ges of ground-referenced output and is insensitive to the fluctuation
of bias and supply voltages. Second-order effects. such as the channel
length modulation effect, the mobility reduction effect and device mi
smatch of the proposed circuit are analyzed in detail. Low-power and h
igh swing nu MOS cascode current mirror is presented as an application
. Performance of the proposed circuits is confirmed by HSPICE simulati
on with MOSIS 2.0 mu p-well double-poly and double-metal CMOS device p
arameters.
