It aims to cover various applications of optoelectronic implants with a single design. The current driver consists of a drain-regulated self-cascode current mirror. An additional carrier sweep-out circuit reduces the mini-LED voltage fall time down to 4.7 ns. The current can be digitally adjusted from 0.5 mA to 4 mA, depending on its use-case. The temperature-compensated current reference provides 0.01 mA with a temperature coefficient (TC) of 210 ppm/°C between -10 °C and 110 °C leading to a TC of 357 ppm/°C for the output current. The successfully performed measurements for circuit under pad constructs revealed a possible size reduction only limited by the dimensions of the on-die processed mini-LEDs of 0.1 mm x 0.2 mm.enCMOS | current reference | integrated LED driver | level shifter | medical implant | mini-LED | optoelectronicTechnology::600: TechnologyConference Paper10.1109/ISCAS56072.2025.11043414Conference Paper
