Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a bias generator configured to generate a bias voltage based on a function of a resistor and an adjustable current, the adjustable current generated based on a band gap reference generator, wherein the bias generator includes a current source to receive a code to adjust a value of the adjustable current, and, wherein the bias generator includes a controller to set a value of the code based on a relationship between a value of a first voltage generated based on the band gap reference generator and a value of a second voltage generated based on the band gap reference generator, and the value of the bias voltage corresponds to the value of the second voltage; and a clock path including a current-mode logic divider circuit configured to generate differential clock signals, the current-mode logic divider circuit including at least one transistor having a gate responsive to the bias voltage.
