Abstract:
In one embodiment, stable and controlled circuit element biasing is provided in a circuit comprising a voltage source operable to output a first voltage, a reference voltage source operable to output a reference voltage, a circuit element biased, during operation, by the first voltage at a first end and by a second voltage at a second end, a voltage controller coupled to the second end of the circuit element, wherein the voltage controller is operable to adjust the second voltage based on a gain output, a gain controller operable to receive the reference voltage as a first input and the second voltage as a second input, wherein the gain controller is operable to generate, at an output of the gain controller, the gain output based on the second voltage and the reference voltage, and a feedback loop that extends from the output of the gain controller, through the voltage controller, and to the second input.
