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.
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.
∴ I2≈Ic3
Current mirror ckt is easy to fabricate. Therefore it is widely used as constant current bias in integrated amplifiers.
