Description
Current Mirrors are widely used circuits in IC designs. They are used as current sources and loads. The proper selection of a Current Mirror configuration is therefore important. This thesis reviews critical parameters for Current Minors characterization. Six MOS Current Mirror configurations are studied, and their performance characteristics are compared. The proper selection and use of MOSFET models are presented. It is shown that CAD-based design and analysis is indispensable if realistic MOS models such as BSIM3 are used. The CAD based analysis and design employs simulation parameter tuning, optimization and swept parameters. The presented CAD techniques allow a designer to make important tradeoffs for different configurations. One of the main thesis observations is that it is not always necessary to use more involved Current Mirror configurations; a Simple Current Mirror Configuration is often sufficient. The thesis also studies the adverse effects on the design caused by process variations.
