Differential Amplifier Schematic

Hand Calculations
To Save power let the actual current that flows be 0.5uA
For M1,
0.5u= (1/2)Kn*(W1/L1)*(0.6-0.45)^2
from which (W/L)= 0.238
Also Iref= 2/(B*R^2) *(1-1/sqrt(K))
from which we can get the value of R=205K for K=4.
W1 after fine tuning 645n
L1 after fine tuning 1.465u

(W/L) after tuning= 0.43

Resistor value= 216K

W3= 600n
L3= 400n

Conclusions
BMR has a very low supply sensitivity, but a relatively high
temperature sensitivity compared to the BGR.
The Supply Sensitivity of the BGR is a little higher than that
of the BMR but its temperature sensitivity is a lot better.
In BGR, there is a trade-off between power consumption
and chip area
In both references we had to let the actual currents flowing
through the reference branches to be much lower than the
reference current needed and later mirror these currents to
produce the reference current. This lowers the power
dissipation of the circuit.
