Abstract:
A bias current generator is disclosed that include an operational amplifier that is self-biased during an inactive period with a bias current to bias a gate of an output transistor. Since the inactive period bias is close to an active period bias applied to the gate of the output transistor during active operation of the bias current generator, the speed of transition from the inactive period to the active period is enhanced by the self-biasing of the operational amplifier.

Claim (Index 1):
A bias current generator, comprising:\n an output transistor; an operational amplifier having an output node connected a gate of the output transistor, wherein during an active mode of operation for the bias current generator the operational amplifier is configured to bias the output node responsive to a comparison of a feedback node voltage to a reference voltage so that the output transistor conducts a bias current during the active mode of operation; a current source configured to conduct a node-biasing current; a switching network configured to source the node-biasing current from an output of the operational amplifier during a dormant mode of operation in which output transistor does not conduct the bias current, wherein the bias current is greater than the node-biasing current; and a secondary current generator configured to mirror the bias current into a secondary current, wherein the bias current is greater than the secondary current, and wherein the secondary current is greater than the node-biasing current.
