FET Current Mirrors ECE 2204

Current Sources Ideal independent current sources are difficult to make and are almost impossible to fabricate on an integrated circuit. Instead, current mirrors are fabricated. ▫These are circuits that contain two or more FETs, where the drain of one of the FETs is connected to the rest of the circuit. ▫This FET is operating in the saturation/pinch-off mode. Thus, it can be thought of as a dependent current source.  The value of this dependent current source is determined by the operating conditions of the other FETs in the current mirror, not by the operating condition of the rest of the circuit (at least over a certain range of currents).

2 Transistor Current Mirror

Common Design in Current Mirrors At least two transistors ▫Two transistors are wired in parallel  shared V GS ▫One transistor has the drain and gate tied together  V DS > V GS – V TN ; it is in saturation

Drain Current in M 1

Bias Condition of M 2 M 2 is assumed to also be in saturation. ▫This depends in part on the rest of the circuit above M 2  If the circuit above M2 requires too much current, then M2 will be forced into the triode/nonsaturation region. At which point, the current mirror circuit is not functioning properly – which means someone didn’t design their part of the circuit to the correct specification.
