  • Abstract
    An analysis of the noise characteristics of the most basic current copier cell is presented. Since MOS transistors are used, both thermal and 1/f noise sources occur. Because of sampling, the noise appearing at the output contains both sampled and continuous components. An expression is described for the power spectral density of the output current noise, allowing an assessment of the relative importance of each of the noise sources in a current copier application. A measurement of the noise spectrum of the current copier is shown
