A power supply noise rejection circuit for functional circuits, such as a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The power supply noise rejection circuit includes an isolation transistor connected to a voltage supply for providing an output current and voltage substantially free of noise across the full frequency range. A current source, a diode connected reference transistor with resistance means connected between its gate and drain terminals, and a dummy circuit serially connected between the voltage supply and ground generate a bias voltage that is applied to the gate of the isolation transistor. The dummy circuit mimics the DC characteristics of the functional circuit such that the output current tracks with process and temperature variations. The isolation transistor and the reference transistor can have negative threshold voltages, and the circuit can include bleed means for drawing current from the gate of the reference transistor and isolation transistor. |
