A low-voltage, high-performance, self-biased, cascode bulk-driven current mirror is proposed. Using the bulk-driven technique together with quasi-floating gate metal-oxide semiconductor transistors improves the overall circuit performance. A small-signal analysis validates the advantage of such an approach over conventional bulk-driven circuits. The proposed circuit has four times smaller input resistance and extended bandwidth by about three times over the same configuration using the conventional bulk mechanism. The circuit is simulated on UMC 0.18 μm technology node with the help of HSpice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
