Abstract :
Current mirrors are core structure for almost all analog and mixed mode circuits and the performance of analog structures largely depends on their characteristics. Hence, for low voltage analog circuit structures, low voltage current mirrors are mandatory. In this tutorial article, we present some of the low voltage current mirrors along with their merits and demerits, so that the selection of a suitable current mirror for a particular application will be easier.
