Abstract
A current-mirror arrangement comprising a first and a second transistor (3, 4). The base and the collector of the first PNP transistor (3) and the base of the second PNP transistor are all coupled to a junction point (1) to receive an input current (Ye). The output current (Ya) is available at the collector of the second PNP transistor (4). The arrangement comprises a compensation circuit (2) which supplies a compensation current to the junction point (1) which is substantially equal to the sum of the base currents of the first and second transistors.
