Hi all,
Today I discovered that I can save a lot of power when I scale down the current in the replica-bias
of my power-hungry OTA by 1000
![Wink Wink](https://designers-guide.org/forum/Templates/Forum/default/wink.gif)
(see a very simplified figure in the attachment).
However, where I work it is good practice to scale the current only by 8 to 12 and further current multiplication
is done in a seperate bias circuit.
Why should I not scale this current directly by 1000 (assuming it wouldn't be a problem in the layout)????
Cheers
