Mirrors

Hi,
I need to understand what does Mirrors (current....) stands for in analog design ?
Thanks.
 

Mirrors

it stands for mirroring reference current to generate bias current for your analog circuit such as OP AMP.

Interresting materials:
Are there somes IEEE papers ?
 

Mirrors

i think understanding the basic concept of current mirror is very important
 

Re: Mirrors

I2=k*I1. k is a constant.
 

Re: Mirrors

maybe you can refer ro the berkeley 240, Lecture 05
 

Mirrors

They were basically used to mirror the same value of current, by generating the similar condition of region, Vgs and Vds. However lwe can use it to amplify by increasing or decreasing the m factor.
As told earlier used for biasing the various circuits.
 

Re: Mirrors

Many of our analog circuits needs Bias Current, We just use Mirror Current branch to setup its DC opperation point.
 

Mirrors

i think it basically stands for bias or active load.
