Hi,

I want to design a scalable current mirror, is there any way to externally control the scale of a current mirror by injecting a current signal or some other methods?

thanks
 

Basically, introducing an offset voltage in a non-degenerated bipolar current mirror creates a scale factor and may operate as a simple kind of multiplier. You should evaluate possible circuits by yourself to see the limitations.

thanks, but for CMOS current mirror, is there any similar design?
 

possibly you can increase the number of output multiplier using switches...

thanks

If possible, could you please give me any detailed information or reference on this implementation?

this can be the simplest implementation see the attaced file.

U can see any book on DAC, they usually use similar topologies. Just change the logic and use it as per convinience to get a scaled current according to the input control voltage
