The patent application (Publication Number: US20240007066A1) describes a referential amplifier device with unique features. The device includes two current path systems, each comprising transconductor devices, resistor devices, and cascode devices, to provide an output voltage based on the input signal and a threshold voltage level. The resistance values and current levels in the systems are carefully set to eliminate temperature variations and ensure proportional responses to absolute temperature changes. Additionally, the transconductor devices are configured to operate in weak inversion, enhancing the device's performance.

Furthermore, the patent application outlines a method for manufacturing the referential amplifier device. The method involves setting specific resistance values, configuring transconductor devices for temperature compensation, and ensuring proportional current levels in the two current path systems. The inclusion of cascode devices and resistor segments in the systems helps increase the voltage gain level at the output port. By following this method, manufacturers can produce referential amplifier devices with improved stability, accuracy, and performance, making them suitable for various applications requiring precise voltage amplification and temperature compensation.
