Cmos Current Mirrors With Reduced Input And Output Voltage Requirements, Vladimir I. Prodanov, Michael M. Green Jan 1996

Cmos Current Mirrors With Reduced Input And Output Voltage Requirements, Vladimir I. Prodanov, Michael M. Green

Electrical Engineering

A CMOS current mirror with lower than VDS(sat) input voltage requirement is presented. It is shown that the structure can be modified to provide cascode-type output resistance for output voltages even lower than 2 VDS(sat). The topology of the proposed current mirror allows low distortion operation from a single 1.5V supply, which makes it attractive for low-voltage applications.
