US Patent 7446568 Receiver start-up compensation circuit

An integrated circuit includes a current mirror circuit for providing a current at an output end, a power-down switch coupled to the output end of the current mirror circuit for controlling access of the current generated by the current mirror circuit based on signals received at a control end of the power-down switch, and a compensating unit coupled to a bias end of the current mirror circuit and the power-down switch for stabilizing voltages at the bias end of the current mirror circuit.
