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 14):
The current reference source according to  claim 13 , further comprising:\n the at least one tile reference current generator included in a non-volatile type of memory; the signal output of the first switch capable to output the first voltage signal to the at least one tile reference current generator, the first voltage signal is based on a magnitude of the first current source; the signal output of the second switch capable to output the second voltage signal to the at least one tile reference current generator, the second voltage signal is based on a magnitude of the second current source; and the first and second voltage signals capable to provide respective first and second reference currents to the at least one tile reference current generator for a memory operation to a portion of the non-volatile type of memory including the at least one tile reference current generator.
