low voltage cmos current mirror

I work on a fully current mode circuit which is supposed to be low voltage, I use 0.35u cmos technology, I am going to use a lot of current mirrors in my circuit,
Do you know any current mirror with lowest possible VDD.
 

what's the value of the VDD? 1.8v?
I think the overdrive voltage and dynamic range is more important.
 

you should first select a low-voltage current mirror structure.
in my opinion, the simple current mirror is the best choice if the accuracy meet your specification.
low-voltage cacode current mirror is the best choice due to its high accuracy. However it will increase the power dissipation.
by the way, you could obtain a low-voltage current mirror at the cost of the layout area.
 

Agree with liuyonggen_1.

And, take a look of the paper
Shouli Yan & Edgar Sanchez-Sinencio, "Low voltage analog circuit design techniques: A Tutorial", IEICE Trans. Analog Integrated Circuits & Systems Vol. E00-A No.2, Feb. 2000.

It provides a lot of low voltage current mirrors.
 

i think low voltage current mirror is a good choice.
 

Here is a link I found to the paper:

**broken link removed**
 

There is part of chapter Allen and Holberg book.
