Systems are provided for generating and distributing a plurality of reference currents on an integrated circuit. More particularly, an integrated circuit is provided which includes a reference current generating system. The reference current generating system includes a first reference current generator disposed at a first location of the integrated circuit which is operable to generate a plurality of first reference currents. A plurality of second reference current generators are disposed at a plurality of second locations of the integrated circuit. Each of the second reference current generators are operable to generate a second reference current from one of the plurality of first reference currents. In a particular example, the first location at which the first reference current generator is disposed is a central location and the second locations are disposed remote from the first location.
