- Draw a two transistor current mirror. The input transistor is M1. The output transistor is M2.
- Assume both transistors are the same size, and in saturation. If the input current is Iin, what is Iout?
- If I want Iout to be half of Iin, what would you do?
- So we could change widths, lengths, add unit devices. Which is preferred? Why?
- How does M2 Vds affect Iout?
- Why does Iout change with Vds?
- How do we reduce the effect of Vds? Draw the circuit. Explain how to size devices.
- If M1 has a resistor at it's source, how does Iout change with respect to Iin?
- How do you reduce mismatch in a current mirror?
- How do you reduce noise in a current mirror?
- What is the bandwidth of a current mirror?
- If I want a 1-4 current ratio with unit devices, how do you layout that out? Why?
