How do we generate Vb We must guarantee This result suggests that if a VGS voltage is added to VX , the required value of the Vb can be obtained. Another Diode-Connected is needed ! ( How to add it ?! ) With a proper choice of the M0 and M3 the target cab be achieved Vb = VN Target
Swing Analysis in detail Lower Swing !! Why ?
Comparison of 2 structures The answer to the later why because we force VDS2 to be equal to VGS2 In any circuit, where due to of some reasons we force VDS to be equal to VGS we waste the swing by one VTH Swing & Accuracy Trade-off ! Vb is chosen such that Vb is chosen such that Wider swing but lower accuracy Lower swing but higher accuracy
Large Signal Behavior of Cascode Current Mirror M2 goes into the triode region VA –VB = VTH2 Vx = VDS3 + VB = VDS3 + VA – VTH2 Both in Saturation
Wide-Swing Cascode Current Mirror How to overcome the Swing & Accuracy Trade-off ? A whiteboard discussion should be presented here ! Widely used Current source
Wide-Swing Cascode Current Mirror All the transistors are in saturation VGS Minimum headroom for M3 and M4While VDS-M1 = VDS-M3
Wide-Swing Cascode Current Mirror A Must VA = VB
Wide-Swing Cascode Current Mirror Enhanced Swing
LV Cascode Current Mirror (cont’d) We can shorten X and A in ac !
Biasing of LV Cascode Current Mirror VR 1 Some inaccuracy arises
Biasing of LV Cascode Current Mirror 2 Very low current density
Biasing of LV Cascode Current Mirror 3 The same problems is still exists for (3)
