 The zero gain amplifier can be used to create a stabilized current source. Because the voltage seen at the drain of transistor M<sub>1</sub> is now more constant with changes in the input supply voltage as represented by AWG1, it can be used as the gate voltage of M<sub>2</sub> to produce a much more constant current in transistor M<sub>2</sub>. The zero gain amplifier can be used to create a stabilized current source.
