Abstract:
A highly distributed current reference for a solid-state memory comprises a centrally located current digital-to-analog converter (IDAC) and a plurality of remotely located tile current references. The IDAC comprises a first active device that generates a reference current, and a device that forms a first source degeneration resistance for the first active device. The IDAC outputs a voltage signal that represents a magnitude of the reference current. A remotely located tile current reference comprises a second active device and a device that forms a second source degeneration resistance for the second active device. The source degeneration resistances and capacitance coupled to the voltage signal output from the IDAC compensate for current, temperature, supply and process variations.

Claim (Index 9):
The current reference source according to  claim 8 , further comprising:\n the at least one tile reference current generator included in a non-volatile type of memory; the first voltage signal from the output of the first buffer is based on a magnitude of the first current source; and the first voltage signal capable to provide a reference current to the at least one tile reference current generator for a memory operation to a portion of the non-volatile type of memory that includes the at least one tile reference current generator.
