Abstract :
Modified wide-swing cascode current mirrors are introduced that achieve low input and output voltage drops. The new structures can be used in low-voltage environments and provide even higher output impedance than regular cascoded current mirrors. With dynamic biasing, high current accuracy and high output impedance can be maintained over a large operating current range
