Negative voltage supply (Vgg) needs to be turned on first and then positive voltage can be applied to the drain (Vdd). When turning off the device, the positive supply (Vdd) should be turned off first and then negative voltage (Vgg) can be removed. The gate voltage is adjusted in order to set the drain current to the desired level. The gate voltage required to achieve a certain current can vary over temperature and from one device to another due to pinch-off voltage variation. Constant drain current can be achieved by Implementing an active bias circuit which allows for temperature compensation and eliminates the effect of pinch off voltage variation. The same current mirror circuit is implemented for each stage adding a total of 12 components at a cost of approximately $0.29 Application Circuit Schematic Mimix Broadband, Inc., 10795 Rockley Rd., Houston, Texas 77099 Tel: 281.988.4600 Fax: 281.988.4615 mimixbroadband.com Page 4 of 5 Characteristic Data and Specifications are subject to change without notice.
