Process Corner Analysis of Current Source and Current Mirror
Objective: To be able to gan a better un!erstan!ng o" t#e $ro%ess %orner analyss o"
Current &our%e an! Current 'rror t#roug# a seres o" smulatons.
Definition:
1. Process Corner re"ers to a (araton o" "abr%aton $arameters use! n
a$$lyng an ntegrate! %r%ut !esgn to a sem%on!u%tor )a"er.
*. Current Source+ a !e(%e t#at su$$les or absorbs ele%tr% %urrent.
3. Current Mirror- s a %r%ut !esgne! to %o$y a %urrent t#roug# one a%t(e

Result:
Observation:
