Abstract
Systems disclosed herein provide for a low-noise current mirror operable under low power supply requirements. Embodiments of the systems provide for a low input current path and a high input current path, wherein the current in the low current input path sees a higher voltage and the current in the high input current path sees a lower voltage. Embodiments of the system also provide for a cascode transistor in the high input current path.
