A current mirror includes at least two pairs of metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), preferably manufactured using complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Each MOSFET includes a gate, a source, and a drain, and each MOSFET operates according to a set of characteristic curves, wherein each curve includes a linear region and a saturation region. Each pair of MOSFETs is configured in series. A first current passes through the first pair of MOSFETs, and a second current passes through the second pair of MOSFETs. The first MOSFET of the first pair is electrically connected to the first MOSFET of the second pair, and the second MOSFET of the first pair is electrically connected to the second MOSFET of the second pair. A voltage difference between the first MOSFET of the first pair and the first MOSFET of the second pair is a first offset voltage, and a voltage difference between the second MOSFET of the first pair and the second MOSFET of the second pair is a second offset voltage. The second offset voltage is reduced by simultaneously operating the second MOSFET of the first pair in the linear region of one of its characteristic curves and operating the second MOSFET of the second pair in the linear region of one of its characteristic curves.
