A very-high output impedance current mirror for very-low voltage biomedical analog circuits
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we present the design of a new very-high output impedance CMOS current mirror with enhanced output voltage compliance. The proposed current mirror uses MOS current dividers to sample the output current and a feedback action is used to force it to be equal to the input current; yielding very high impedance with a very large output voltage range. The proposed implementation yields an increase of the output impedance by a factor of about gmrocompared with that of the super-Wilson current mirror, thus offering a potential solution to mitigate the effect of the low output impedance of ultra-deep submicron CMOS transistors used in sub 1-V current mirrors and current sources. A NMOS version of the proposed current mirror circuit was implemented using STMicroelectronics 1-V 90-nm CMOS process and simulated using Spectre to validate its performance. The output current is mirrored with a transfer error lower than 1% down to an output voltage as low as 80 mV for an input current of 5 muA, and 111 mV when the input current is increased to 50 muA.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
