An Ultra-Low Power Variable Gain Current Mirror
Authors
Abstract:
A power efficient gain adjustment technique is described to realize programmable gain current mirror. The dissipation power changes over the wide gain range of structure are almost negligible. This property is in fact very interesting from power management perspective, especially in analog designs. The simple structure and constant frequency bandwidth are other ever-interesting merits of proposed structure. The programming gain range of structure is from zero up to 18dB under operating frequency range from 72 kHz to 173 MHz. The maximum power dissipation of designed circuit is only 3.1 µW which is drawn from 0.7 V supply voltage. Simulation results in 0.18 µm CMOS TSMC standard technology demonstrate the high performance of the proposed structure.

A Power Efficient Gain Enhancing Technique for Current Mirror
This work introduces a new and simple method for adjusting the gain of current mirror. The major advantage of the proposed architecture is that, unlike the conventional variable gain current mirror, it does not need the change of the biasing current to adjust current gain. Therefore, the power dissipation remains constant in all of the gain settings. In addition, the proposed variable gain curr...
