hello
the finger ratio of my current mirror is 4:100, it should have 20mA sink current flow in the mirror leg, but it comes out at 16.5mA by measurement. 18% deviation from simulation results which can not be accepted.
i could not figure out the reason, i checked the layout, only found the layout difference between main leg and mirror leg.
the devices in main leg are layout at seperate style, while the devices in the mirror leg share the source and drain region at the cascoded node for the sake of save silicon area.
please check the attached picture for information.
do you think it is the layout made this 18% deviation of this current mirror?
PS. the current in the main leg comes from banggap and current reference generator circuits, it should be accurate, the current in other blocks seems normal.
thanks
