Experiment – 7
Objective :
To finddesign and simulate various Current Mirror Topologies and plot Ids v/s Vdc curve and
output resistance v/s frequency characteristics for different topologies.
Theory :
Current Mirrors :
Current Mirrors are current copying circuits which are used to bias the typical circuits like
differential amplifiers and acts as current source for many other circuits as well.
So the basic property expected from a current mirror are same as from a current source i.e.
high output resistance and others are accurate current copying and low voltage headroom.
So we will observe these three properties for all 5 topologies under consideration namely :
Simple CM
Cascode CM
Improved Wilson CM
Modified Cascode CM
Regulated CM
Each of these topologies has their characteristics which make them suitable for one application
an unsuitable for other.
Let’s Arrange these topologies in order corresponding to the high op resistances, voltage
headroom, and current precision.
