摘要
This communication presents a CMOS class AB current mirror which adopts an innovative dynamic biasing approach. Thanks to it, a minimum power supply is required that is given by one threshold voltage plus two saturation voltages. The excellent performance of the circuit is confirmed by simulations on a design example implemented in a standard 0.8-mu m CMOS technology. The circuit uses a 1.2-V supply, being the threshold voltages of transistors around 0.8 V.
