Abstract:
A common mode reference circuit comprises a divider stage and an output stage. The divider stage includes a first n-channel field effect transistor and p-channel filed effect transistor (NFET/PFET) pair connected in series to a high supply voltage circuit node; and a second NFET/PFET pair connected in series to a low supply voltage circuit node. The output stage includes a first FET connected as a current mirror to a transistor of the first NFET/PFET pair; a second FET connected as a current mirror to a transistor of the second NFET/PFET pair; and a common mode reference output at a series connection from the first FET to the second FET.

Claim (Index 12):
An electronic circuit comprising:\n a common mode reference circuit including: a divider stage including: a first transistor pair connected in series to a high supply voltage rail; a second transistor pair connected in series to the first transistor pair and a low supply voltage rail; a third transistor pair connected in series to the high supply voltage rail; and a fourth transistor pair connected in series to the third transistor pair and the low supply voltage rail; and a push-pull output stage connected to the divider stage and including: a first output stage leg coupled to the high supply voltage rail and the low supply voltage rail, the first output stage leg including a first field effect transistor (FET) and a second FET; a second output stage leg coupled to the high supply voltage rail and the low supply voltage rail, the second output stage leg including a third FET connected as a current mirror to a transistor of the third transistor pair, and a fourth FET connected as a current mirror to a transistor of the fourth transistor pair and connected in series with the third FET; and a common mode reference output connected to a source region or drain region of each of the first, second, third, and fourth FETs.
