Current minor circuit: The ckt in which the o/p current can be forced to become equal to i/p current called as current mirror ckt.

enter image description here

In the other words a current mirror ckt the o/p current is mirror image of i/p current.

Operation of current mirror ckt: the current mirror is a special type of constant bias and hence can be med to provide a constant current bias for two transistors Q1 and Q2 which differ ampr ckt.

VBEq3=VBEq

Ic3=Ic4

And IB3=IB4

Applying kcl @ node A.

I2=Ic4+I

I2=Ic4+IB3+IB4

IB3=IB4

I2=Ic3+2IB3

I2=IC3+2Ic3βdc

I2=Ic3(1+2βdc)

As β dc is very large 2βdc term cause neglected.

I2Ic3

Current mirror ckt is easy to fabricate. Therefore it is widely used as constant current bias in integrated amplifiers.
