Abstract
A current mirror includes first and second transistors having current paths coupled to an input current line. The current paths for the first and second transistors are referenced to ground via respective first and second resistors having resistance values twice a first resistance value. The first transistor is diode connected. A third transistor has a current path coupled to an output current line and referenced to ground via a third resistor having a second resistance value equal to the first resistance value divided by a mirror factor. Control terminals of the first and third transistors are coupled together, and further coupled to a control terminal of the second transistor through a coupling resistor. A first capacitor is coupled between ground and the control terminal of the second transistor unit. A second capacitor is coupled between ground and the current path through the third transistor.
