Programmable current mirrors: design and applications.

Abstract

Current-mode circuits are receiving a great attention nowadays. This is mainly due to their ability to perform well at high frequencies. The work in this thesis deals with current mode circuits. Specifically, a new circuit called multiple output programmable current mirror, PGCM, is constructed. The use of such a circuit in a number of a linear and nonlinear applications is considered and discussed in details. Simulation results are presented whenever possible. In most cases, these are in very good agreement with theoretical expectations. Finally, a conclusion is provided together with recommendations for future work.
