Table 1 Supply voltage requirements for practical applications
Current mirror | Minimum supply voltage | Dynamic range | |
|---|---|---|---|
Simple | \(V_{th}+2V_{sat} +V_{DR}\) | V DR | Unidirectional |
Cascode | \(V_{th}+2V_{sat} + V_{DR}\) | V DR | Unidirectional |
Wilson | \(V_{th}+2V_{sat} + V_{DR}\) | V DR | Unidirectional |
MITE | \(V_{th}+2V_{sat} + V_{DR}\) | V DR | Unidirectional |
ULV | V th | \(V_{th}-2V_{sat}\) | Bidirectional |
