    This document discusses different types of current mirrors, which are electronic circuits with three terminals that replicate an input current at the output terminal at a desired current gain. It describes simple bipolar and MOS current mirrors that directly reflect the input current at the output. More advanced current mirrors like the cascode and Wilson current mirrors use additional transistors to improve the voltage swing and matching between the input and output currents.

    Current Mirrors

    Definition
    A current mirror is an element with three terminals. The common terminal is connected to a power supply, the input current source is connected to the input terminal. The o/p current is equal to the input current multiplied by desired current gain. If the gain is unity , the input current is reflected to the output leading to the name current mirror.
