CURRENT-MIRRORING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

One embodiment of the invention includes a current-mirror system. The system includes a current-mirror circuit configured to conduct an input current through a first current path that includes a first degeneration resistance device and to generate an output current that flows through a second current path that includes a second degeneration resistance device. The output current can be substantially proportional to the input current. The system also includes a degeneration control circuit configured to maintain a substantially constant degeneration voltage across each of the first and second degeneration resistance devices.
